Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon weekend 2021

[camaker]

Disney Parks Blog just posted medals on their Instagram im sure they will be making the rounds on other sites all day

My initial impressions:

• 5k - Very nice! Makes me wish I was running it.
• 10k - NBC is my favorite. They could’ve done a lot better. Oogie especially looks undetailed and blobby
• 1/2 - LOVE IT! I think they nailed this one as both Kronk & Yzma look fantastic! Only nitpick is the potion probably could’ve been a lot smaller, allowing for larger characters.
• Challenge - Love it! Looks fintastic!

I love those!

Now just waiting on post race party tickets for family to join in!! Has anyone heard anything at all about those?

I fly out Sunday night and can't use mine if you want a deal on a ticket. Make an offer and I will probably counter lower to make it seem like I am a nice guy....

 

[CP3uhoh]

good looking medals! I'm interested to see the merchandise especially with Jack and Oogie and Ursula involved. The Challenge stuff should look pretty good with purple and black.

I can't remember from two years ago, they weren't attached to a name? LOL

They aren't. I sold mine in 2018 when I went. No issues. Figure if I don't go, might as well give someone a discount!

That would be great thanks, I'll keep it in mind. Still need at least one more, my daughter's boyfriend wants to join in this time after her 1/2!

I like the designs but the 5k is the only medal that looks ... like a metal medal? The rest look kind of plastic-y because they left no shiny metal hardware showing through the paint.

 

[Disney at Heart]

If I earn it, I like it!

The 10K is open at the moment.

Am I the only one who thinks the half is lame? I really wish they would have either chosen something less obscure or, better, swapped the half with the 10K. I love nightmare before Christmas.

 

[HangWithMerida]

I love that Yzma and Kronk are on the HM medal! It's honestly one of my favorite disney movies and not a typical character choice. Love it!

That's so funny because this one is my daughter's favorite!! It has Kuzco poison on it! LMAO

We knew the themes for the races before registration, so there was at least opportunity to pick which distance matched your character preference.

I knew this year was a villians theme, but I still miss Chef Mickey from my 2016-2019 HMs

as much as I love the medals a part of me wishes they used different villains instead of just reversing the distance order

 

[Rogue224]

I wish they had picked new villains this year instead of using same ones as last year......BUT I’m just glad that the race IS happening!!!!!

Hi all,

FYI for those interested in the 5k or 10k, the Scott Carter Foundation charity has both races available. They have very low fundraising minimums, are an awesome cause, and they have been wonderful to deal with. The link is:

I've never gone the charity route, but you are correct that the fundraising minimums through the Scott Carter Foundation are the lowest I have ever heard of. They have 5K, 10K, and the Challenge available.

I got my costume figured out for the HM! In keeping with the villain theme, I went with Hades. I found a tank top from SundayMorningActive and a Blue flame headband. I will wear my own shorts and sleeves if needed. And I bought new shoes! They are blue ghosts (my usual shoe) to bring some more color in and none of the pairs I currently own really went with the costume.

What has everyone else settled on?
