I want to run Boston someday mostly because I want to run the 6 majors.
Given my pace, well, it's probably gonna be as a charity runner.
People run Boston for a lot of different reasons. I haven't heard many people say they're running for the medal (unless I'm just talking to the wrong people, which, given my view of the boston marathon, is entirely possible). So they can half-*** it a little more.
Disney, on the other hand... I think more people do run that because they like the medal. Heck, I almost did it this year even though I was severely undertrained. So they need to put a bit more into the medal, probably.
The NYC medals the past few years have been pretty similar I feel, haven't they? Same shape and basic design, same colors, focus on Lady Liberty, etc.
Possibly. I can't remember all of them off the top of my head, but I do remember them being vaguely similar. I can get a comparison picture later today if you're really curious (they have all the NYC marathon medals on display at NYRR and I'm headed there tonight anyway).
But again ... I think fewer people run that because they like the medal.
