As for the medals, I wonder if that Poe medal was planned for the Light Side, it's really cool. The Dark Side half medal... meh.
So how does this work? Do we just run it anywhere we want and send our results in?
So you are essentially just paying for a medal?You don't have to finish to get the medal, just like the real Disney races

I signed up and I'm honestly so happy I could cry. That Kessel Run medal is the reason I started running and I was heartbroken when they cancelled Light Side the year I was able to do KR. I don't care that it's a virtual or money grab our whatever - I GET MY KESSEL RUN BACK!
Getting the pink coast to coast was one of the reasons I signed up for the Princess this year. So disappointed when they cancelled all the DLR races.
I could see them doing some sort of special medal for Princess and Virtual Tink, but I don't believe it will be the pink coast to coast medal.LOL - I just happened to check the rD page for something and saw about the listing for the SW virtual half/kessel challenge. Doesn't look like the Active link for registration is fully live yet.
I wonder if they'll do something similar (virtual Pink C2C) since Tink isn't happening?
While I have other reasons to like this idea, the fact that it makes the Kessel Run possible at least for 2018 is a great move. I signed up too because it is the Kessel Run medal. And I love Star Wars. If they offer another virtual Star Wars medal next year, I'd probably sign up for it too even though I know I won't be running Dark Side in 2019.I signed up and I'm honestly so happy I could cry.

I agree with what you're saying, but I think the time requirement attached to Dark Side makes it much more difficult to fake it. The Galloway plan for Dark Side has 11 and 12.5 mile training runs in March.I wish they would make the kessel run part of it require proof. I think it sort of takes the meaning out of it if you can walk a mile a day for 13 days and then say you ran 2 halves and get a kessel run medal too. I know that might sound stuck up lol but i really don’t like people who brag for no reason. But if you run both of them like you should that’s awesome!!
I wondered the same thing especially with name change to Resistance Run instead of Rebel Challenge before Light Side was canceled. I was hoping for not another Stormtrooper medal, but I expected a Phasma medal given the race descriptions. I'm fine with the design of the Phasma medal, but I understand those who are meh about it. Hopefully, the 5K, 10K, and First Order Challenge medals are better.As for the medals, I wonder if that Poe medal was planned for the Light Side, it's really cool. The Dark Side half medal... meh.
“Do you want to see a cash-grab ...”

I really like the Virtal Half medal though. Having seen multiple photos, I think the X-Wing on the side of the medal moves.
Pretty sure I saw that Kessel Run medal on the Shop Disney Parks app for $5
