Here is the race bling for the inaugural Griffith Park Trail Marathon that was held on April 13, 2013 in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California.
All finishers of this tough trail marathon received the buckle in the middle of the photo above. Yes, I said a buckle. Not the norm for a marathon but a very cool buckle. The medal at the bottom of the photo was also provided to those who signed up in the in the initial lottery for the race.
And finally, congratulations to RIF #1 Josh who was 10th Overall Male and got to take home a mug as well!
This is the finisher’s medal for the Big D Marathon that took place on April 14, 2013 in Dallas, Texas.
Definitely an appropriate medal for the 10th anniversary of this marathon. Congratulations to RIF #60 Christy for completing her first marathon! Check out the glass she also received:
