I was looking through scrapbooks from my cast member days of the mid 80s and ran across a page in the June 21, 1985 "Disney Newsreel," prepared by and for the employees of Walt Disney Productions (employees! gasp!)

Anyway, the title was "Jog With Jiminy . . . The Road to Health" and referenced fun runs for Disney employees (there's that word again!) and their families at Griffith Park. The races consisted of a 2K, a 5K and a 10K, and from this photo, there were clearly medals handed out, at least to the winners. I wonder what the medal looked like and if anybody has hung onto the old school bling.

If you ran an early Disney marathon or have photos of some early Disney race bling, post them in this thread!
