Of course! Also, there would be no balloon ladies...there would be hyenas!Would we actually be running on the Safari path? Cause that would be cool!

I want runDisney races to return to California, only I will add a twist of sorts. Much like the Kessel Run, which will of course be returning under my plan, there will be a second special Coast to Coast medal if you complete the companion race on each coast. Unless noted otherwise, the special challenge medal requires completing the longest distance at each companion race weekend. The Coast to Coast remains in effect for completing a half (or the full) at Disneyland and Disney World within the same calendar year. As before, you can earn the Coast to Coast and special challenge medal at the same time.
Star Wars Kessel Run Challenge as it was in 2016 and 2017. Jedi mind trick resistant balloon ladies will dress in stormtrooper tech shirts to ensure that runners continue to "move along."
Fairy Tale Challenge. This would replace Tinker Bell race weekend with a second Princess race on the west coast that will find a way to unify the half marathon distance on each coast. Maybe villain themed or maybe the Princess for one coast and her respective Prince on the other coast, or something along those lines.
Fab Five Challenge: Special Mickey and Minnie medal for completing the full at marathon weekend and the half at Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. Half on each coast results in a Donald and Daisy Medal. Anyone who finishes Goofy and/or Dopey is also eligible for the Donald and Daisy medals at Disneyland. This could expand to Chip and Dale or other duos in future years.
I'd love a Pixar themed weekend!Good morning, runDisney all-stars!
For this week’s Sundays are for Disney, design your own Disney race or race weekend. What are the distances and themes? What is on the medals? Any route ideas?
I’d love to have a nighttime series incorporating the fireworks shows.
5K - Epcot w/Illuminations or its replacement running on loop
10K - Epcot and HS with the Star Wars show running on loop
HM - finish on Main Street, USA with HEA running on loop
Edit: forgot to add my characters
I’d get away the Fab Four in favor of other characters, maybe do pairs:
- Lilo and Stitch
- Tarzan and Jane
- Jessie and Buzz
- Ralph and Vanelope
Short of that, I’d bring back the ToT 10K. I want to run a nighttime race at WDW.
Have a great, safe and healthy week, everyone!
I have yet to run a race at Disney but I would love night races and The Nightmare Before Christmas medals and I’m not sure what type but I would also like to see Winnie the Pooh and friends medalsGood morning, runDisney all-stars!

Walt Disney World E-Ticket Marathon
January 2022
*Due to the nightmare logistical challenge, this should only be suggested to the Race Director anonymously, otherwise you should employ private security for even casually bringing it up.
This marathon runs through all four WDW theme parks, allowing runners to stop & enjoy their favorite rides with a timed FastPass.
Perhaps allow a total of 6 to 8 rides over the four parks, per runner.
Runners pre-select which rides they desire.
Use runner's proof of time to establish ride entry times.
For example, you have 'x' amount of time to get to Splash Mountain...
If you miss your FastPass time range you must move on to catch your next available ride.
This would demand each runner to map out the course and their presumed pace.
Let's face it, folks on this blog spend a year preparing for the January race.
We definitely need something other than months of angst worrying about what lousy corral you will be subjected to.
Print QR codes on bibs or allow MagicBands for FastPass ride entry.
You can choose 2 rides per park, 1 per tier, e.g; Space Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates or Haunted Mansion, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster or Tower of Terror, etc.
Just imagine, a couple of hours into the marathon you would have all four parks with runners on the rides.
Film it, make a big promotion out of it. Why not?
The medal would be an old E-Ticket replica with Walt and Roy in bronze.
Your bib design would be your favorite ride from WDW.
... see, another decision to make?
ToT? Haunted? Pirates? Hmmm...
Since this is my idea, I demand priority entry!
... and of course all my disboard friends that LIKE this post!
My race theme is Tiki, with all the medals and themes inspired by drinks at Trader Sam's Grog Grotto. All podium finishers get the tiki mug from each drink for their trophy.
5k - Krakatoa Punch
10k - Nautilus
Half - Uh-Oa!
Challenge - HippopotoMai-Tai
That is good news (I hope) thanks for sharing.For those who are hoping for the release of additional bibs, maybe the below information is evidence of forthcoming availability:
This morning, I received a "Perfect registration link" from runDisney to register for the 2021 Dopey Challenge.
It is valid until 8:00pm EST on July 18, 2020.

Tier 2 registration and pricing starts July 21st so having until July 18th for "perfects" makes sense to me.
I know a lot of naysayer folks think 'Tier 2' does not apply anymore but I wouldn't bet against it.
*Sigh
Will I get less push-back if I promise NOT to say I told you so?
What's "Perfect registration"? Just trying to figure out what that means as I am seriously hoping for more bibs to be released. DH wants to do Dopey and I want to do the Marathon but we hadn't decided when registration opened and of course weren't able to get a spot.For those who are hoping for the release of additional bibs, maybe the below information is evidence of forthcoming availability:
