This is the medal for Pikes Peak Marathon that was held on August 19, 2012 in Manitou Springs, Colorado.
The marathon starts at 6,300′ and climbs to 14,115′ at the summit before the runners return back to the start! Insane! It’s America’s Ultimate Challenge all right. I like how the medal incorporated the mountains into the shape and that it declared the marathon’s bada$$ery on the back.
Congratulations to RIF #83 Brad Box and RIF #1 Joshua Holmes for completing such a tough marathon!
Here’s one last photo of the medal:
