The next runDisney race is the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend from October 22nd to October 25th. However, as excited as we are, we’re not here to talk about that race. We want to talk about the 2027 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, because we just got a first look at the medals!
From January 6th to January 10th, 2027, Disney World will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. Fans and athletes from all over the world are invited to participate in the race led by Donald Duck, who will be the star of the show throughout the weekend.

Being a part of the race is so much fun, and the exclusive Disney medals are the cherry on top! Disney just dropped a first look at the medals coming to the 2027 Walt Disney World Half Marathon, and we’re loving each and every one of them. Mickey’s pal Pluto is featured on the 5K medal, and as you can see, Donald Duck is making his appearance on it as well.

The 10K medal features the beloved chipmunks, Chip & Dale. It’s got an eye-catching pink and magenta color scheme with the characters framed with a cutout silver border. The same spinning Donald piece is featured on this medal.

No need for the smaller spinning Donald piece on the Half Marathon medal, because Donald Duck is front and center. The medal is in the shape of the number 30, celebrating the 30 years of races. The cool thing about this medal is that it has a hinged locket design.

Open it up, and you’ll find Daisy Duck on the inside!

We know Donald is the star, but it’s not a Disney event without Mickey and Minnie Mouse, who are featured on the Marathon medal. The medal has Mickey and Minnie running with “26.2 Miles” above them, on a gorgeously designed background. Yes, Donald Duck is still featured on this medal too.

Are you up for a challenge? Or, should we say, Goofy’s Challenge? This medal is designed in a very unique way, with the medal having two doors that open up. On the face of the medal, you get the challenge name and Goofy running.

Open it up, and you’ll find Donald Duck holding up three medals, as well as “39.3 Miles” lettering, which is the total miles needed to complete the challenge.

Lastly, if you complete the 48.6-mile distance, you’ll get the Dopey Challenge medal. The medal is a hinged locket in Dopey’s colors of purple and green. The front shows Dopey leaping forward on a stunning background.

Open it up, and you’ll see Dopey holding six medals on one side and “48.6 Miles” on the other side.
