Oh I really hope not WWoS but I fear that’s going to happen. Maybe they’ll include MK more in this run? Really anything but WWoS lol.
Especially with all the construction.

This course was always unique and focused more on Studios, AK, and I love that final celebratory World Showcase lap! Whatever changes occur I do hope that the World Showcase Lap remains...which was relatively new to this race but makes so much sense.

Innoventions won't impact the race. You still have to get from the front to the back. It will just look like the ugly DCA construction.

I expect the medal post to be out soon; unofficial pictures are already circulating

Just saw on Blog Mickey, I really like the half marathon medal.

Have I told you lately that I 👍 you?
While the 6AM extra magic hours end on Nov 2, currently they have 8AM extra magic scheduled for the day of the Half Marathon, which makes me think it will be very unlikely to be going through any part of the Star Wars area and would seem (to me anyway) to be an interesting choice logistically if the route is similar to the recent Star Wars Half, because a lot of people would be jogging through the major guest queuing areas while hundreds of other people would be crowding the other direction, clamoring to get into DHS. You would think they would rather put extra magic hours in the evening for a half marathon day of all days!
As to the medals, I'm liking the half and the two course challenge medal too! But I may be a little biased as seemingly one of the only people that thinks the Three Caballeros overlay in Mexico is way better than changing it to Coco (after all, it's basically the only IP in the parks whose movies were based on educating the populace about other cultures and bringing people together, which fits with the original spirit of the World Showcase). But I digress

I love the 10K design. The half is nice, but doesnt work for me
I assume rD orders some extra's challenge medals; they will most likely receive lots of request of people wanting a new one because the old one lost a hanger

I agree @Figment82 i am certainly ok with the medal, and I love Mickey and America. But, for 10 years, I too was hoping for a throwback style focusing on SSE. See ya there!
I'm not a fan of the medals.
Why Frozen? This isn't Princess.
Agree with @surfsupdon. It's the 10th anniversary - why not do a through back to SSE?

I thought the wine/dine medals are MUCH better than this year's princess ones...but that doesn't take much. 10k is Olaf & Sven, not princesses. I love the challenge medal with the dangly-things

I will gladly trade my Princess 10K medal for the Wine and Dine 10K medal.
Still Frozen. I liked the medals from 2 years ago much better.

Those medals are one of my favorites, ever. Best design I've ever seen. The only ones I like more are the ones with memories attached.

There's a small hint to SSE in every medal: the patron of SSE is present in the background of each one.
