Last year, the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run weekend at Disney World was canceled. But this year, Jedi and Sith alike can participate in virtual Star Wars races from home. And with those races come some pretty epic medals. Want to know what medals you’ll be hanging up in your home soon? We got a peek at what the 2021 Rival Run medals will look like and we’re sharing it all with you!
A number of different races make up the 2021 Rival Run Weekend, including a 5K, 10K, Half-Marathon, Kessel Run Challenge, Kids Dashes, and a Kids One Mile Run.
