The runDisney virtual series includes three 5Ks, each with their own medal featuring a different Mickey. The fourth medal is for runners who complete all three 5Ks in the challenge. This is what the box will look like if you participate in the challenge and get all four medals.

The ribbons are purple on one side and silver on the other side, with different colored lettering that matches the theme of the race or challenge. “runDisney Virtual 5K 2023” is in the first zero of the “100” on the 5K medals.
