With a new friend joining, new “bling” and lots of exciting surprises and entertainment, now more than ever is the time to join us for our biggest race weekend of the season! We’re excited to give you a first look at this year’s finisher medals:
New to this year, luck will be on your side for the Walt Disney World 5K as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit makes his race debut! Participants can look forward to picking up this finisher medal which prominently features the classic Disney character.
More miles, more medals. Whether you’re feeling Goofy for 39.3 miles or Dopey for 48.6, runners taking on one of the weekend’s challenges will earn this extra “bling.” For some added magic, this year’s medal for Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge features our favorite Goof in “spinning” form! Celebrating its 5th anniversary, Disney Castaway Cay Challenge returns for runners who want to accomplish the ultimate running adventure when they set sail with Disney Cruise Line.
Exciting news for the runDisney Kids Races: Beginning in 2019, participants in the runDisney Kids Dashes and One Mile Run will earn a unique medallion for each event! This year’s designs feature your pals Mickey and Pluto.
Earning a medal for your 26.2 miles of hard work? Our Walt Disney World Marathon medal will also feature our host, Mickey Mouse, “spinning” in the middle.
