Here is the colorful and beautiful finisher’s medal from the 2012 Maui Oceanfront Marathon held in Maui, Hawai’i every January.

The medal is gold with a pink and light blue Uhu – Parrot fish on it.  Simple, yet nice, and related to Hawaii’s rich underwater culture.

It’s a wonderful marathon held on a beautiful road course that runs right alongside the beach for almost all of the race. Temperatures can get high during the second half of the race as the sun comes up.

The inaugural Louisiana Marathon took place on January 15, 2012 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The race had a great turnout for a first year event and seemed to be extremely well put on.

Here is a look at the finisher’s medal from the Louisiana Marathon.

It’s rather simply, no fancy bells or whistles, but is well done with the footprint being composed of a cypress tree, the state tree of Louisiana, within it.

Here is a look at the 15th Anniversary Walt Disney World Half Marathon finisher’s medal from the race that was held on January 7, 2012 in Orlando Florida.

This medal is on the large side and is die-cut using the 0 in 2012 to double as Donald Duck’s eye.  It is the 15th anniversary medal of the Disney Half Marathon, and it’s obvious more went into the design than in previous years.

The race started and finished at EPCOT and included a tour around the Magic Kingdom and through the big castle along the way.
