First Look: The 2024 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend Medals
runDisney has revealed the finisher medals for the 15th Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, with the Swedish Chef on the 5K, Tiana on the 10K, Remy and Linguini on the half marathon, and Chef Mickey and Chef Minnie on the spinning Two Course Challenge medal. The weekend closes with a post-race party inside the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
The Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend hits its 15th year this fall, and runDisney has revealed the finisher medals for all four events. The food theming runs through the whole set, from the Swedish Chef on the 5K to Chef Mickey and Chef Minnie on the spinning challenge medal, and the weekend still ends inside the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

Disney Wine & Dine 5K
The Swedish Chef hosts the 3.1-mile Disney Wine & Dine 5K. The Muppets casting is the clearest signal of how this weekend approaches theming compared with the character rosters used at Marathon Weekend or Princess Half Marathon Weekend.
Disney Wine & Dine 10K
Tiana and friends front the 6.2-mile Disney Wine & Dine 10K, a course that runs through Walt Disney World Resort and forms the first leg of the Two Course Challenge.
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon
Chef Remy and Linguini host the 13.1-mile Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon, the headline race of the weekend and the one the post-race party is built around.
Disney Two Course Challenge
Finishing both the 10K and the half marathon earns the Disney Two Course Challenge medal, hosted by Chef Mickey and Chef Minnie. This one spins, which puts it in the small category of runDisney medals with moving parts.
The post-race party inside Food & Wine
The Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend Post-Race Party gives finishers access to EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Global Marketplaces, select EPCOT attractions and entertainment available only to party guests. It is the reason this weekend draws a different crowd from the January races: the reward is a festival, not a finish line photo.
What this means for runners
Wine & Dine is the runDisney weekend where the finish line is arguably the least interesting part of the schedule. Runners weighing the Two Course Challenge get two medals plus the spinner, and anyone registering for the half alone still gets the party. Event details are posted at runDisney.com.
