This is the medal for the 2012 Run Crazy Horse Marathon held on September 30, 2012 in Hill City, South Dakota.  It is made of clay and boasts the sculpture of what the Crazy Horse Memorial will eventually look like when completed many decades from now.  It has a very charming, homemade look and the leather strap for a ribbon gives it a rugged, western feel.

There were 753 runners that participated in either the full or the half marathon.  Runners were more likely to run the half marathon, which sported roughly a 900 foot net descent, while the full marathon added a gradual climb from miles 13 – 20.

This is the medal for the Big Sur Trail Marathon that was held on September 29, 2012 in Big Sur, California.

So disappointing that a medal for a race that is awesome and beautiful and challenging is a generic medal! The runners who climbed 5700 ft while running this marathon deserve a better medal than this!

But…congratulations to RIF #1 Joshua who rocked this trail marathon in 4:07:02 and came in 10th Overall and won his Age Group! Way to Run It Fast Josh!

This is the medal for the Bellingham Bay Marathon that took place on September 30, 2012 in Bellingham, Washington.

Beautiful medal! From the race website:

“Community Totem” by Neeka Cook

“The two Salish figures at the bottom represent community, working together to support the community. The animals can’t be forgotten as community members either. It could be something small as a frog that supports more than we think. The eagle is showing trust as he sits in the whale’s mouth. And it takes the active community to balance all these things. The seagull silhouette was done with good humor and matches the Bellingham Bay Marathon seagull logo.”
