Here is the finisher’s medal from the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Jose Half Marathon that took place on October 6, 2012 in San Jose, California.

This might be my favorite medal of all-time! Has there ever been a doper, hipper, mix-tape of love medal ever?

Rock ‘n’ Roll/Competitor is known for going cheap on it’s medal designs (see RNR Country Music Medal ’12) and events in general, but they hit it out of the park on this one.

I have a good feeling this medal could win RIF’s ‘Medal of the Year.’
