No Star Wars race would be complete without a Darth Vader finishers medal. Participants of the half-marathon will receive the Sith Lord-themed medal.
The runDisney Star Wars Half-Marathon – The Dark Side race has released photos of what the finishers medals look like and they’re pretty amazing. From a Millennium Falcon medal to one with stormtroopers, the race at Walt Disney World in Florida is worth it for the medals themselves.
Preview the medals that runners (even Wookiees!) will receive at the @runDisney #StarWars half marathon this April. https://t.co/pCwX9qH6sb

RunDisney also hosted a Star Wars event in January, the Light Side, but that event took place at Disneyland in California. The Dark Side edition will be held in Orlando from April 15-17 with a 5K, 10K, and half-marathon.

Featuring the iconic Tie Fighter, the ship of choice for the Imperial Army, the inaugural 10K race features a staple of the Dark Side.
Stormtroopers are the face of the 5K race medal and the most colourful of the single-distance races. May the force be with you.
