Today the designs for the runDisney Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side medals were released… and they are awesome! The Star Wars themed weekend returns to Walt Disney World on the weekend of April 19-22, 2018. The medals this year are inspired by Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  The medals were shared on StarWars.com, who had fun taking them around for a photo shoot in their San Francisco offices. Take a look at this year’s medals.

The news about these races wasn’t all focused on the Dark Side though. Two more medals that focus on the Light Side were also shared on StarWars.com. One is for inaugural Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon, an at-home race you can run at your own pace. The other is for the Kessel Run. This is awarded to those who do both the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon and the Dark Side Half Marathon.
