[anneeb]

I usually don’t care about the medals. But wow. I actually got excited when I saw these. Glad I am doing Dopey!!

Agreed!

 

[Disney at Heart]

Love all. Goofy here I come!

I did 13 miles in my marathon training yesterday and then woke up to that amazing marathon medal reveal. I'm super excited!

Not me debating switching my marathon registration to Dopey after seeing those medals Someone talk me down!! Peer pressure not welcome

You came to the wrong place to avoid peer pressure!

 

[marty3d]

SAFD: those medals make me very glad I’m doing the Dopey!

SAFD: Ok. Time to start running again. Wish me luck. I’ve always only been in it for the bling.

Hahaha! I absolutely acknowledge that and I feel I already know my fate. I haven’t even “officially” started my marathon training. Next week is week 1. So now I need to try and think realistically. Do I even have enough time to make this not absolutely miserable? Took all winter/spring off running and have been riding every day instead. Just shifted back to running about mid July. Plan was for dopey in 2023.

I like the full medal and I know my wife, a hard core dog person, will love the 5k.

Now that the medals are out I really want to see the course and what they will have for kids races.

I know there is speculation that they won't have a kids event because they can't be vaccinated but that never made sense to me. They are packing kids into the parks, it shouldn't matter for kids events. I'm not trying to debate that of course, I don't want my wrist slapped. Just stating that using it as an excuse to delay the announcement seems bogus.

SAFD:

These are, to my initial observation, by far the best set of medals they’ve ever done. Thank goodness for the 50th anniversary finally giving them proper motivation to actually tie all the medals together. It has long been a huge pet peeve of mine that the medals have never all looked like they are from the same Weekend. Usually it’s Dopey and Goofy as the outliers but there have been years where they look like 6 different people designed them with no input or collaboration with one another.

As long as the quality matches the design I am super excited to add this set to my collection.

Kids races might be a staffing and logistical issue. The margins on those events might be narrower than a larger event. I think they’ll be back in the future but they might not be rushing them back for reasons other than the pandemic.

They really nailed it with these, thrilled with all of them.

 

[DisneyParrothead]

I love all of them! Right now I’m training for a local 10k on Halloween and I already have my sights on Disney. I’ll screen shot the 10k medal and keep it for motivation. I’ve ordered my costume and am raring to go!

That is possible. I just wish they'd say something definitive. My kid keeps asking if he can race too.

 

[CP3uhoh]

I’m pleasantly surprised on the medals given how sort of vanilla the art work that had been revealed was, especially in comparison to Wine And Dine art and theming. Look great. Now I would like a non 90% 80 degree training day for a long run. It was a little rough at 77 degrees and 99% humidity yesterday morning.

 

[Carol_]

I’d like one year to have all the medals fit together like a puzzle.
I was trying to make this year’s 5k fit somehow in my mind but I can’t see it matching up right with anything.

We finally have confirmation that they are celebrating/acknowledging the 25th anniversary of the half marathon! Top of the half marathon medal says "25 Years Running".

So excited for these beauties!

SAFD: these messages are fantastic and I’m glad I’m doing Dopey for first time!

 

[Herding_Cats]

Yesssssssss

SAFD
So glad I pulled the trigger despite having no large emotional attachment to oswald compared to the “sensational six” it’s stunning I’m loving the use of the EARidecent color pallet

 

[Barca33Runner]

I like that they all have a little motion as well. The Goofy and Dopey look like they will be a little different than spinners we’ve seen in the past.
