The medals are just one of the many reasons participants cite for running in the runDisney races at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Disney is known for outdoing themselves with their unique race medals and the upcoming Walt Disney World Marathon is no exception. Scheduled for January 13, 2013, this will be the 20th anniversary of the 26.2 mile race. To celebrate this milestone, Disney has designed a new medal. Disney doesn't do anything simply, and even the reveal of the medal was done with fanfare. "The Great Medal Caper" revealed a series of clues to fans on social media platforms, culminating with the reveal of the medal. The 2013 medal hangs from a red ribbon and is in the traditional round shape, but the inner circle spins. One side features a classic Mickey face, while the other side is a more modern Mickey. Also engraved on the medal are two classic quotes from Walt Disney.

The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend will be held January 10-13, 2013 and will include kids' races, a 5K, a half marathon, and the full marathon.
