Here is the finisher’s medal from The Palm Beaches Marathon Festival. I kind of felt like an NFL player in pre-game introductions listing his school as THE Ohio State University….which I hate.

The medal is from the collection of Navin Sadarangani who ran the Palm Beaches Marathon this past weekend as part of a double-marathon weekend. He finished with a time of 3:50:21.  The previous day he ran Reggae Marathon (bling photo) in 3:50:43.

Additional medal photo (below) submitted by Evan Gilead (@wanderingpenman), who along with Lauren Phipps (@HurricanePhipps), finished their first marathon at Palm Beach. Congrats to both of them as well!

Run It Fast contributor/runner extraordinaire Naresh Kumar ran the Foothills Trail 77 Mile Ultra Marathon this past weekend (Nov 26-27, 2011).  He said it was one of the hardest races he has ever done, and Naresh has done some hellacious races.

He said it was 2nd on his list of difficulty only to the Last Annual Vol State 500K, a race in which he which he was the first unaided runner to finish. Read his Vol State 500K race report HERE.

The finisher’s bling from this tough race was the well earned, funny, and slightly offensive wallet you see above.

Five people started this race and only three finished. Naresh was the 2nd to cross the finish line.  Only 20 people have ever finished the FHT 77 Miler.

Naresh needs an appropriate sponsor. Let’s help the ‘Vibram Viking’ fine one!!!

The 40th Space Coast Marathon & Half Marathon took place on Sunday, November 27, 2011.  Here is the shiny, sparkly, appropriate, over-the-top finisher’s medal from the half marathon.

The full marathon medal was a near exact replica with a color variation.

This is a medal that the ‘King of Bling’ would be ecstatic to have hanging from his mounted bugle horn.
