Here is the finisher’s medal from the 43rd Annual Yuri Gagarin Memorial Half Marathon that took place outside of the cosmonaut training center just outside of Moscow, Russia.

This is the medal for third place that was awarded to Michelle Mitchell.  A beautiful medal that appears colorful and with the image of a double-phoenix on the front.

The famed Barkley Marathons eat the young and old alike.  The 100-mile race consisting of 5-20 mile loops is considered the toughest race to finish in the world. It is the sick creation of race director Lazarus Lake.

This year was no different with the small exception that three people actually finished the race and Brett Maune (story) set a course record in finishing and winning the brutal race that takes place at Frozen Head State Park.

Above is a look at some of the Barkley swag from Naresh Kumar who competed at the race this year.  Along with the bib # you will see a map of the state park along with book pages. Each runner has to tear a corresponding page out of books places upon the course to prove they made it to those points of the race.  If they lose a page on the way back to race headquarters then they are disqualified.

Like Lake’s Last Annual Vol State 500K race there is no bling or medal for finishing this beast….just pride.

Here is the finsher’s medal for the Tel Aviv Marathon that took place on March 30, 2012.

The detail on the front (and the back – see photo below) is awesome and the medal gives a great sense of place. I think I actually like the back more!

Here is the finisher’s medal for the 40th Anniversary of the Andrew Jackson Marathon that was held on Saturday, March 31, 2012 in Jackson, TN.

It’s a simple but classic design to celebrate the anniversary. I think fits the spirit of this marathon and I also like the aged look of the medal.

Simple, authentic to the sport’s past, and yet still unique. I like this one. Great photography of the medal and solid background as well.
