Overall, medals are very similar to the original graphics. I really like them! My favorite 5k medal in a while.

Yeah, again very glad I didn’t choose to run this with my friend’s husband, who is running Dopey. Signed up for the marathon instead.

If anyone needs or wants an extra half medal, I’ll have no problem giving mine up after the race.

DW just asked why Minnie is missing for the marathon medal and there are two Mickey’s?

Rather than manufacturing themes, I wish the theme could just be Marathon Weekend. No need to do more than that.

With Minnie back as the host of the 10k.

5k-Pluto
10k-Minnie
Half-Donald
Full-Mickey
39.3-Goofy
48.6-Dopey

I don’t believe they ever explained the change; but I think adding Minnie as co-host of the Marathon and Daisy as co-host of the Half was, pretty transparently, a nod to equality. While wholeheartedly agreeing with the sentiment, I disagree that it was needed in this case. Personally, I think going from host of her own race to co-host of another was a demotion. And everything was so clean with the Fab Five hosting the four individual races and initial challenge and the character for the additional challenge being almost too on the nose.

I’m usually not wistful for the good ol’ days, but going back to the above listed race hosts is one of my few indulgences into that territory.

It took me a minute before I realized that Minnie was in blue and Mickey in red. I had them backwards.
