I know the influencer/imagineer I follow did seriesLast of the set today! Woo!
I did my series out of order because I was aiming to do them on the "opening day" of each attraction, which meant that Space Mountain was first and Mad Tea second lol
No medals for me either. Probably tomorrow....just cause.
Curious: those that got your medals already.... were they singles or the challenge?
Congrats to those who have finished the challenge already. I'm a month behind in this year's challenge. I work in a hospital outside of Chicago, so my June was still total crazy time. I just finished race #2 today. I'll make it!

Disney Virtual Races are personal honor system. No need to submit times. The medals will just show up in the mail one day.Just curious, did you have to submit your times / distances to get your medals? I registered for the challenge but could never find anyplace to fill out a submittal for having done the events. Same for my daughter.
I signed up and the medals showed up. Nothing else. They have never tried to verify any virtual race I have done through them, including the 2018 Star Wars Virtual Half which had the Kessel Run medal attached to it provided I finished the 2018 Star Wars Dark Side Half Marathon at Walt Disney World.Just curious, did you have to submit your times / distances to get your medals?

Exactly. In 2018, my nephew was obsessed with The Incredibles especially Dash and Jack-Jack. Since both of them were on the virtual summer series 5K medal for August, I registered him for that race as a birthday present in late July. We decided that I would do the race with him. Weeks passed. I never submitted anything. In late September, his medal arrived and we did it then.Disney Virtual Races are personal honor system. No need to submit times.

Until they say otherwise, runDisney awards the medal for virtual races merely by signing up and paying the registration fee. It's up to you to do the distance. In fact for the Star Wars Virtual Half, they very clearly state that the 13.1 miles do not have to be run consecutively. You can do them in 90 minutes, you can do them over 90 days. Or not at all, but there's no benefit in that.

"One day" being the operative words.
My concern is we don't know when they're shipped. There's no shipping notification and no tracking. The medals don't fit through my mail slot, and therefore will get left on the ground. We've had porch pirates in my area on and off. Not being able to plan to be around to receive the package makes me nervous, which is why I try to determine when others start receiving them and why i.e. alphabetical shipping maybe, single races vs. challenge, yada yada...I don’t understand this feeling that RunDisney is somehow slow or delinquent with the delivery of virtual medals. They generally state on the site that medals will be delivered after completion of event timeframes and to allow up to 30 days past to receive them. Yet when they go above and beyond that and start shipping the medals out early, people start complaining about not receiving them early enough. They literally can’t win.

So it did come FedEx and not FedEx SmartPost (via USPS)?Got my challenge set today from FedEx. The extra E-ticket medal pin was a nice bonus.
