We’ve got big news, runDisney fans!
January is just around the corner when you really think about it, especially if you’re training to run in the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend happening January 8th-12th, 2025. With the race just a few short months away, Disney has just released what the medals will look like for those who complete the races!
There are multiple different races that take place over the course of the Marathon Weekend, including the 5K! This is 3.1 miles, and the completer medal features none other than our favorite pup, Pluto.
Next up is the 10K which is 6.2 miles! This completer medal features our favorite mischievous brothers — Chip and Dale!
The Half Marathon completer medal features Donald Duck and Daisy Duck, both celebrating you completing the 13.1 mile course!
And of course, the Marathon completer medal features none other than Mickey and Minnie themselves! Who else would you want to see after completing that challenging 26.2 mile course?
If you complete two races with a total of 39.3 miles, you’ll also receive the Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge medal, which is celebrating its 20th Anniversary!
Lastly, you can get a medal for completing the Dopey Challenge, which you’ll receive if you complete all four races, which is 48.6 miles! And this isn’t just any medal — the top of it actually flips down to reveal Dopey holding multiple medals, just like you will be!
