Here is the finisher’s medal from the Savage Gulf Trail Marathon that took place on March 18, 2012 in Savage Gulf State Park near Dunlap, Tennessee.
It was a first year event and the park rangers that put on the race did almost everything right. The race/park was stunningly beautiful, and the marathon was extremely challenging with climbs over big boulders. It took finisher’s on average 2-3 hours longer than usual.
Bling you say? Well as you can see there was no official bling. Something I’m sure will be rectified next year.
However, there was a swag table full of giveaways. So I saw the Skull Candy headphones and headed for the food tent.
