Released March 17, 2026 | Price $42.99

Lace up your glass slippers—it’s time to run! The 2026 runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend ears released as part of the exclusive event merchandise at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo on February 26, 2026.

Whether you’re celebrating your first 5K or finishing the Fairytale Challenge, these ears are designed to commemorate your royal achievement.

This year’s race ears are all about customization and celebrating the specific princesses that inspired the 2026 race themes.

The ears feature a sleek, shimmering pink fabric with a subtle quilted pattern. What makes them truly unique is the interchangeable patch system. The ears come with a set of four character patches that you can swap out depending on which race you completed. The patches included are Merida (5K), Moana (10K), Rapunzel (Half Marathon), and Belle (Fairytale Challenge). Keeping with the customizable theme, the ears feature a removable white faux leather bow. You can wear them as classic Minnie ears or go for a more streamlined “runner’s look” by taking the bow off. The side of the headband is embroidered with “2026 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend” in silver thread, ensuring you never forget the year you earned your medals. The headband is lined with a soft pink non-slip velour.

These ears are an event-exclusive release, typically only available to participants and their guests during the race weekend.

The original retail price was $42.99.
