The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon took place on November 5, 2011 in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Here is the finisher’s medal from the Monumental.

Dallas Smith, who send us the photo, described it this way, “The Monumental Marathon medal is less ornate than its name might suggest. Rather, it’s simple and tasteful.”

WE ARE MARSHALL!!! And here is the Marshall University Marathon finisher’s medal.  The race took place on November 6, 2011.

I think this medal is pretty great.  It’s unique yet not over-the-top cheesy with gimmicks.  And all medals, like the Flying Pig Marathon (see HERE) medal, that have a cool back side get extra points for creativity.

It took a couple of days, but we’ve finally landed a photo of the 2011 ING New York City Marathon medal from the race that took place on November 6, 2011.

No wonder it took so long. This medal is several levels below average.

You’d think with the NYC Marathon being such a large marathon that they’d spend a little coin on a finisher’s medal worthy of this prestigious event.

It’s not the worst medal we’ve ever seen, but it is very 5K’ish for sure.

WOW! We’ve come to expect the best out of the Marines so it should be no surprise that the 36th Marine Corps Marathon medal is simply one of the best we’ve seen this year.

It looks like something straight out of an Austin Powers movie.

The MCM was run on October 30, 2011.  The race was won by Army first lieutenant Chad Ware (results).

The inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Louis Marathon & 1/2 Marathon took place over the weekend on October 23, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Both the full and half finisher’s medals were similar except for the color of the ring circling around the medal. The full was red (Cardinals red) and the half was navy.

Overall, I think it’s a very pretty medal that focuses on St. Louis’ most historic landmark, the Gateway Arch, with a riverboat at the base of it.
