I should know this but I can't seem to wrap my head around it.

When is the next anniversary year for Donald (The half) and
Mickey (the full)

I am thinking 2017 for Donald and 2018 for Mickey but that doesn't sound right.

Thanks

I think you are right. 2018 should be the 25th for the full and 2017 should be the 20th for the half.

Agreed. We ran the 20th anniversary Mickey last year (2013), so that will definitely be 2018. I'm almost positive that the Donald anniversary had been the prior year, so it should be 2017.

And for those interested in both races, 2015 is an anniversary year (10th?) for Goofy.

2010 will also be the 5th anniversary for Wine & Dine.
 


I have too much free time, and since it seems relevant here, I have actually previously made a document with all the anniversaries (1st, 5th, 10th, etc.), so perhaps this will help anyone looking for the info:

I'll be turning 50 in May 2017. As long as I'm still healthy and able to run, I can't think of a better birthday present to myself than to do the Dopey again in 2018. Anniversary medals for the full, 10k, and Dopey would be pretty sweet :cool1:
 


Are the anniversary medals always special? I know what the 20th anniversary marathon looked like, but does anyone have picture of previous anniversaries?

There is a small, teeny-tiny, change I might do Goofy in 2015, but only if the medal is special. Otherwise, I'd rather wait until I can better afford a trip.
 
Thank you all for the info.

There is always a "special" medal but not always nice. The Donald 2012 I thought boarded on creepy...lol I also did my first goofy on the 5th anniversay and the medal was ok however, Mickey 20th anniversary was amazing. I wore it instead of my goofy medal cause i liked it way better.

Not all races have had a nod to the 5th interval anniversary on the medal. The 5th Donald was kind of a forgotten race. But it was also the second cousin to the marathon at that point in time It was still a smaller race where a significant number of half runners were folks 'failing' from the marathon. Back then the races were run concurrently and if you were having a not-so-good day you could simply pull off at the half and finish.

Interestingly, the 10th anniversary of the half had no 'perfect' runners at all.
 
that 2018 Mickey will be the next time I do a marathon. I need to ride Expedition Everest again at mile 12. so much epicness.
 
Ooh! I'm putting Dopey 2018 on the calendar! Great anniversary chart! Thanks!
