The Tower of Terror 10-Miler is an annual Walt Disney World running event that began in 2012 (it replaced the Tower of Terror 13k). Participants in the Tower of Terror 10-miler take home a large, detailed Tower of Terror shaped race medal with commemorative ribbon. Bonus: the little elevator in the middle is spring-loaded! This page collects all of the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler race medals into one handy reference.

2013
The 2013 Tower of Terror 10-miler medal is very similar in design to the previous year’s medal.
The medal itself is cast in a heavy pewter-like metal with a red-trimmed ribbon featuring Stitch dressed as a Hollywood Tower Hotel bellhop.
The tiny elevator in the center of the medal is spring-loaded. The windows and Hollywood Tower Hotel sign use a glow in the dark surface material. eBay prices typically range from $50-100 for the Tower of Terror 10-Miler 2013 race medal.
2012
The 2012 medal was the first of its kind, a heavy pewter-like medal with the year “2012” in the upper left corner. The ribbon is orange and black and emblazoned with a Tower silhouette, lightning bolts, and the words “Inaugural” “Sept. 29, 2012” and “The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler”. The tiny elevator in the center of the medal is spring-loaded. The windows and Hollywood Tower Hotel sign use a glow in the dark surface material.

It’s easy to assume it’s the same size as the ever-popular Disney pins, but it’s actually closer to a Pop-Tart pastry in size.
