Run It Fast®

Here is a look at the 15th Anniversary Walt Disney World Half Marathon finisher’s medal from the race that was held on January 7, 2012 in Orlando Florida.

This medal is on the large side and is die-cut using the 0 in 2012 to double as Donald Duck’s eye.  It is the 15th anniversary medal of the Disney Half Marathon, and it’s obvious more went into the design than in previous years.

The race started and finished at EPCOT and included a tour around the Magic Kingdom and through the big castle along the way.

The 2011 Death Valley Trail Marathon was technically cancelled by the race director due to 70 MPH winds up in the Titus Canyon. However, that didn’t stop a group of us from meeting and deciding to hold the marathon ourselves.  About 40-50 runners went over to the canyon there in Death Valley, braved the winds, and ran a memorable marathon that none of us will ever forget.

It was a trainwreck on Sunday night in Las Vegas at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon & Half Marathon but a few survived…and some of us even received a medal for finishing.

For the rest of you? You can expect to receive your medal in 4-6 weeks according to the Competitor Group. Running out of medals at any event is a disaster, but it was the least of the disasters Sunday night (Full Story).
