November 12, 2014

runDisney and the Disney Parks Blog have just released images of the long awaited Star Wars Half marathon medals. As usual each race over the weekend has a different finishers medal. The medals seem to encompass the original Star Wars movies very well and will definitely be a huge part of why next years Star Wars Half marathon will sell out.

  • 5k finishers will receive a C3P0 medal, and kids race finishers will receive an R2-D2 medal.
