Love the X-Wing vs TIE. Classic.

Darth Vader vs Yoda? Huh? Vader never faced Yoda. In fact, they never saw each other. Ever.

Maybe it should be Emperor vs Yoda (Ep3). Vader vs Obi-Wan makes more sense.

Maul vs Ashoka? Meh...ok, I guess.

Sometimes, I really wonder what these people at rD are thinking and who makes these final decisions.

I was kind of hoping for a Anakin vs. The Younglings medal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Registration seems to still be open for all of the races a week after it opened to everyone. I'm guessing this will mean it may be less attended than last year? Or am I wrong?

None of the races are sold out for this one yet. Am I the only person running this race? If so, can I just ride a bike?

 

[DznyGrlSD]

whelp...I hope I'm living in Orlando by then and the race is still available. Darth/Yoda and Leia/Stormtroopers must be mine

 

[Texas84]

Just booked Old Key West. Wanted the new tower but didn't have the points.

 

[HiJe]

I'm staying at CBR again. Enjoyed it last time and definitely want to try that Skyliner.

 

[LAKid53]

Staying at Copper Creek.

@Texas84, there's a new tower at OKW?

Hasn't been officially announced yet.

It’s finally happened, the 10k is now sold out, glad I was able to snag my spots in the three races the morning the AP registration opened up in early-July (still wasn’t fast enough to get a magic band somehow)

All races are open again. Is this really that unpopular of a weekend?

Wow, that is really surprising. Maybe if they push the 16 min per mile requirement back, it would encourage some for the longer races?

IMO 16 minute mile is more than enough. otherwise the course doesn't get clear in time for guests. this is coming from a super slow runner

It gets numbers comparable to W&D. Probably has a higher cap if W&D was a sell-out.

2020 medals released. No Falcon for the Kessel?

Great find! Looks like they switched it out for the cockpit view, a la Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, someone in Parks must’ve gotten in there and demanded synergy!! [2021 change to Smugglers Run Challenge CONFIRMED!!! ].

I do really like the looks of the two half medals and the set overall (although maybe not super pumped about the 5k, although feeling a little better that I’m guessing we can flip it to the Darth Maul side vs the character I’m not familiar with).

Edit: found the other side of a few of them on the No Guilt site:

I wouldn't be surprised if runDisney changed the name of the challenge next year. That will tick off the Anaheim racers.

I like the half design - much better than recent years. The emphasized call out of the 5 years is a nice touch. The kids race medallions are adorable!

 

[DznyGrlSD]

those aren't bad. Here's to hoping that A - I'm living in Florida by April and B - the race/challenge is still open.

Edit: as of right now the 10k is the only one sold out
