This is the medal for the Livestrong Austin Half Marathon that was held on February 17, 2013 in Austin, Texas.
Fun medal with great detail! Also shown in the photo is the Marathons of Texas medal that runners receive for running a marathon or half marathon (in any combination) at the Dallas Metro PCS, Chevron Houston, and Livestrong Austin Marathons/Half Marathons.
The finishers of the Village Bakery Wrexham Half Marathon did not receive your typical medal when they ran this half marathon on February 17, 2013 in Wrexham, North Wales! Instead they received a loaf of bread as their “medal”!
According to Rob, it was not a joke and was “the best ‘medal’ I have ever eaten”. I can see a bakery giving out bread as a prize. But it better be one darn good, freshly baked loaf of bread. Mmmm…warm bread… 🙂
