26.2 Medals |
|
So you've run 26.2 miles. What an accomplishment! You even paid money to do so; yes, you're half crazy, but you did it! You cross the finish line and stagger toward a smiling volunteer who holds a medal to put around your neck in commemoration of this special moment. Stop the camera! Are you perhaps just a wee bit curious what this medal looks like before you reach that precious point in time?
Well, WE are! Most would agree it's cool having sharp-looking medals, many of which are specially designed to match the character and area of the event. We all want something unobtrusive to hang on our wall to remember we ran a full marathon, right?

| Absolutely. But the prize is sometimes not what we had anticipated. Have you run a marathon, being elated you finished, but less than happy with the medal? Let's face it: receiving a medal that was purchased generically from a trophy shop doesn't make for fond memories in a display case. Some directors want to keep their events reasonably priced. Well and good, just don't sacrifice the medal. :-) |

We are the first "one-stop" website that features the previous marathon finisher medal photos. We also provide "anticipated" design info for the finisher medal this year, without letting the cat out of the bag too much. Some events are like Disney in that they prefer to surprise their runners, and in most cases the runner will be pleased. Yet you can tell much from the previous year's design. We will inform you of "re-design," "no re-design" (different ribbon color with year usually occurs), and info on the 1/2 marathon medals, extras etc.
Directors, please refer to our Submission page for details. We are starting with the Northwest, but we will gladly add any state as our eventual goal is to have ALL 50 states listed. Our plans are to have a "Top" design for each state and "Top 20" overall eventually, so please link us and keep checking back on our progress! If you have any questions or suggestions please refer to our contact email. We do this for the love of keeping fit, and as a service to the running community.
