I received my refund for the marathon today. I'm sad about that but now I'm waiting for Disney to call me back so I can give them their money back on a new AP for my DD.
I wish they would ship them before the event, so we could have our medals when we actually finish running the race (instead of immediately going in the shoebox...).They’re supposed to be shipped after the event date, so I’d expect late January through mid-February for receiving Marathon Weekend items.
Agreed on the early shipping. Granted, the Star Wars virtual half medals shipped very close to the planned date for the Star Wars Half. I'm running Star Wars next April (hopefully) and just might take some of my runDisney virtual medals especially if Star Wars goes virtual.I wish they would ship them before the event, so we could have our medals when we actually finish running the race (instead of immediately going in the shoebox...).
Will anyone wear the medals if they don’t get them until a month after running? They will still be nice to display. Since my medal hangar fell off the wall, I haven’t replaced it yet and all my medals are in a shoebox at the moment.

That's a great point. As cool as it would be to have the medals in hand to enjoy after the virtual races, I understand that it may simply not be possible. It will come when it comes and I can enjoy it then.Just speculation here, but I wonder if RunDisney has contracts with delivery dates for the medals and shirts. If so, I imagine they’re scheduled to be provided pretty close to the event date so as to minimize the need for storage space/time. Once manufacturing schedules have been established, they can be pretty hard, if not impossible, to move. They may not even have the medals and shirts in time to ship before the event date, at least for the in person events that have been converted to virtual.
Boy, that figures! I'll be in SSR in January, and the main reason I had signed up for the 5K in 2021 was to be able to display all the "Swag" from the run. So I will once again be medal-less onboard the Disney Transportation in 2021, but will have the package waiting for me when I return home....They’re supposed to be shipped after the event date, so I’d expect late January through mid-February for receiving Marathon Weekend items.
Congrats @lhermiston on your NYC Marathon! Great job creativity incorporating NYC into your experience. By any chance did you see a rat eating a slice of pizza?
Halloween is at the end of the week, so for this week’s Sundays are for Disney, let’s talk race costumes/outfits. You have a few options:
- for those running the virtuals, are you planning on dressing up? If so, what?
- if you’ve worn costumes for past races, what have been your favorites?
- if you’ve never raced in a costume, what’s your favorite one you’ve seen someone else in?
I am not dressing up for the virtuals.Good morning, runDisney all-stars!
