Virtual summer series 2022?

[Herding_Cats]

Does anyone know when they start sending the medals out?

Last year, mine arrived while I was in Disneyland over Labor Day weekend, so the end of August/beginning of September

This. We got our Lion King medals in early September. It doesn't matter which race(s) you signed up for, they shipped everything at the end. I would assume that would hold true for this year.

All registered for the Challenge for myself, my sister and our friend!! Glad I used my sisters address since I expect to be moving around that time!!

Wow. This has to be the fastest ever from registration to this question! Sometimes they'll start shipping earlier, but here's the answer from the RunDisney site:

Just finished registering. Had to do my sister and I as separate transactions. What a pain.

And they send them in batches. My kids got their medals weeks before I got mine.

Try refreshing again. One of my queues is on Safari.

I did got a 15 min queue and was able to register for the Kristoff medal, a local summer series I have been procrastinating with and still have 5 mins to spare before I clock back in

I would be really surprised if these sell out today or even this week. The only limit is how many medals they are willing to produce.

Glad to make a record. I'm moving to Canada for a PhD program in August, so I was just double checking to make sure I made the right choice in entering a parent's address.
It was the right choice.

I am in for the Heroic Sisters medal. Since they are real snow globes I had to get one and getting a medal with both the sisters on it seemed great. But I really need to save my money, even though I really wanted the challenge medal with Olaf too. I just have to many disney trips coming up, lol. First world problems.

Hi all (new this board)! Jumping in here as I just registered for one of these races. I thought it was a bit confusing in determining which race goes with which medal. I signed up for the Sequel and am assuming that's the blue Elsa medal. Hope I did that right!

Now I'm trying to hold back and not do them all because I can't afford it but I really want Olaf!

ARGH! Then I signed up for the wrong one since the medals are out of order online. Now I'm bummed. The sister medal is the exact one I didn't want.

Maybe you can contact them and have it switched?

Yeah I just sent them a message. The FAQs say nonrefundable but I asked if they could just switch my medal selection. Dang Disney! lol

I hadn’t planned on signing up considering I did three of the four 2021-2022 season runs in person but seeing the medals IRL twisted my arm to do at least one… plus I may just have to wear my Elsa tank from W&D 2019’s Frozen 10K

So, looking for encouraging words here. I ran the 5k at Princess weekend, and then early March broke my ankle. I have signed up for the full summer series to use as therapy as I begin to walk again. I figure the June one will be very late in June but I start therapy this month, and I'm hoping this is a good way to work my way back?

I think virtual races are a great way to work your way back, since there’s no schedule and no time requirements, you can do them however your body needs you to do them in order to recover from your injury, and you’ve still got the bling motivation to get out there and get moving. Good luck!

That sounds like a fantastic way to help with your recovery!

Were you able to switch it?

No they told me they couldn’t. I’m going to email them back and plead my case again though.
