Marathon Weekend 2020

[lhermiston]

I’m lukewarm on all the medals thus far. The 10K is the only one that stands out for me. It has an interesting color scheme and seems to incorporate more of that throwback theme.

Fingers crossed for a great marathon medal, but I’m not going to lose sleep over any of these designs.

But mainly the Oreos

OREOS

Were there Oreos this year? Maybe some pretzels?

Either way, when you add it all up, it’s a great value

No Oreos which is why I want Oreos.

They were gluten free pretzels btw

I appreciate you all allowing me to vent. I know these are just rendering and all, but these just don’t look like the quality of race medals from 2016, 2017 and 2018 that I’ve participated in from the past.

Running through the parks will be great. And so will the liquid cheese and chips snack box at the end as well. Plus character photos and times with friends. Just stinks that this ... well, is what we are going to remember this weekend with and hang on our walls. (Does this mean that Dopey 3: Oh god I Mean It This Time, No More! will have to happen in 2022?)

I want the Oreos back, but I loved those gluten free pretzels. They went really well with the not-cheese.

All I know is in 17, I scarfed down the baggie of tortilla chips without even realizing there was cheese in there, too.

It’s okay to be disappointed and maybe the medals will look better in person. Fortunately, they’re just one aspect of that race weekend.

We all place different values on the different parts of the experience. Gun to my head, I couldn’t tell you what the Dopey medal looked like this year, but I could tell you all about meeting @garneska and @run.minnie.miles at HH, about the shots I had with @rteetz and @jennamfeo before the 5K, about staying up way too late with my girls before the full.

It’s going to be a great, memorable weekend no matter what. But I am sorry you’re so bummed about the medals.

I’m warming to them, but I absolutely reserve the right to get triggered if the final products fall short.

I love seeing all of the impressions and opinions here regardless of whether they align with mine. Vent away.

The Dopey medal looks like this year’s Rivals Run Challenge medal but with one spinner

You missed out my friend. That fake cheese makes the box what it is.

I'm not signed up even though I want to because I love the marathon, but I kind of like the medals. However, they aren't making me instantly sign up & forgot all common sense & go crazy. I still don't care for Oswald being added in. It will be interesting on Minnie if she ends up on the marathon medal or not since she got on Castaway Cay. It is funny how this year's Goofy medal moves, but for the 15th I'm not seeing anything that could be move-able.

Edit - right as I post I see the marathon medal is released on youtube I guess. Looks cool!

Was just coming to post this. Minnie is on it! I like this one too.

In case anyone can’t play the video, here are pictures of the Marathon medal.

Ok I like that marathon medal. The spinner and retro vibe are good.

Agreed. The marathon is my favorite.

Dang. I love cheese - fake or otherwise.

Love it times 100! It will be my favorite ever maybe, and I have the 25th anniversary which I like a lot. Still digesting that Goofy one.

Loving the Full medal! That and Dopey are currently my favorites. I think I really need to see the others in person.

 

[FFigawi]

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

Fake cheese!

 

[courtneybeth]

Finally, one I like. With my girl Minnie Mouse included!! She’s so badass that she not only ran the Marathon but also did the castaway challenge. You go Minnie! You enjoy your Disney Cruise.

Oh, that marathon medal may just rope me in...
