The new

Dark Side race at Walt Disney World Resort will include kids’ races, a 5K, a 10K and the half marathon, as well as a variety of

Star Wars

experiences, medals, events and merchandise. Racers can also take on the

Star Wars

Dark Side Challenge, in which runners take on a 10K and half marathon on consecutive days, for the chance to receive a special Death Star-themed medal.

Players who complete both the Dark Side and Light Side marathons in 2016, in what is being called the Kessel Run Challenge, will also earn a commemorative Coast to Coast' medal inspired by the Millennium Falcon starship.
