I don't run for the bling, but am sometimes a little envious of it. Seeing these medal renditions - not this time. Hate them.
Yeah. his left wing looks really weird and I just don't like that the background color is the same as his feet.I love the half medal because I love Donald, but I cannot figure out what's happening on that one side of his body. Is it just me? Is his left arm crazy double-jointed or something? Is that blob in the front supposed to be his foot? My brain is not working well on this one.

I will be there and certainly hope they have them in person.They better have the actual medals at Wine and Dine weekend (I won’t be there, but I’m sure someone can or get shots) or post real pictures later so we can see them once they’re done.
For the amount of money we pay (both for the race registrations and for the hotel/tickets/flights to participate in the races), I think we can all have an opinion on the medals.
To be honest, I'm going to wear it and cherish it either way, but I definitely have medal preferences. I definitely prefer my WDW marathon medals over the fairly generic one I got for a local marathon. And the local race is my current PR.
My favorite "medals" are actually painted railroad spikes from a local race that are given out for age group awards.
Agree about having an opinion...it's just that I have seen mostly positive feedback on the revealed medal sketches everywhere else online except for this site. I come here for the positive energy/constructive feedback/information surrounding training for and participating in this event....that is my fault for expecting positivity
Keeping perspective - all in all, life is good and we all get the chance (are healthy enough, can afford to, can take the time off) to participate in these awesome events.

My favorite runDisney medals that I've earned are the 20th Marathon
This might be my problem with medal reveals and being generally underwhelmed by them. For me, they set a standard they just can’t beat with that medal. The fact it was my first marathon probably, but only slightly, influences that opinion.
Are the age group awards just for the individual events, or also for the Goofy and Dopey?
Not for myself or DH of course. But running Pal traveling with us might have a chance (53yo, 2:57 marathon)?
Thanks for replying!Just the individual races. They just published an alphabetical PDF when I did Dopey--not even sortable results. (Looks like they still do, per quick check of 2019 results.)

So my summer trail series medals do that...With all of the geometric shapes going on, all of the medals better interlock into one giant Voltron medal that you’d see Flavor Flav wearing. Otherwise, why even bother?View attachment 419410
I honestly don't think I've ever seen the Internetz so united in distaste for medal designs as they are now!We must frequent different sites, then. Most of the feedback I've seen given directly to RunDisney has been overwhelmingly negative (especially yesterday) and FB groups have been decidedly mixed in their opinions.
