Marathon Weekend 2020

[Mumof4mice]

I know you asked about the challenges, but if he can pull that off during the marathon he'll have a good shot at an award. This year's top 3 50-54 year olds were in the 2:57 - 3:02 range. Keep in mind that it was a hot, humid marathon this year and that likely slowed down the times a bit, though.

Thanks. They're all registered for the Dopey. We were curious if there were age group awards for the Dopey based on cumulative time. Since going all out on individual races could negatively impact the rest of the weekend.

I've read about DIS members completing/coming close to sextuple PR Dopey challenges. Completing all the races is already a huge achievement. Setting PRs at the same time would take impossible amounts of awesomeness and everything aligning just so!

Where did you find the Goofy medal?! I love it so I hope it's not a fake out.

I’m on board for both of these. Specifically Dopey.

The Goofy medal looks cool! But, the backside of Dopey is a little strange... Again, let’s hope it’s cuter in person (not that I’m running Dopey).

LOVE Goofy!!! And that's saying something, because I am really not a Goofy fan! Dopey looks great, too: I dig the 6 medals.

With Minnie being on the Castaway medal I don’t think they’ll include her on the marathon medal. I don’t like the Dopey or Goofy medals, particularly because they look so cartoonish. I get it that these are all cartoon characters but they just look super cheesy.

Really disappointed this is what we are running for and are paying $1000 for hotel and race weekend reg fees.

Love both challenge medals!!!!

Dopey is my favorite so far

I love the Castaway Cay Challenge medal. Goofy looks like it's going to be pretty good. Holy crap, Batman, Dopey looks super cheesy and awful! Most of the others I can see the real thing being better enough to be ok to pretty good. But I don't see how that Dopey medal is salvageable!

Castaway would’ve been the perfect place to add Oswald without unnecessarily inserting him into races that already had established themes.

I can see why others might not like it, but I like that the Dopey medal is whimsical. There are some proportions on the backside drawing that seem odd, but I like that they went for something a little different while sticking with the overall hexagon theme.

I’m really liking both the Goofy and Dopey medals.

Interesting since that’s my favorite of them. Dopey is a goofy cheesy character so I don’t see a problem with it.

I mean, there’s free Powerade at the end, what more could you want?

And bananas on the course. We just have to bring our own cilantro

ETA: I mean the Marathon is really just an all-you-can-eat (oops, all-you-care-to enjoy) banana buffet with a really long line.
