This is the medal the half marathon finisher’s received at the Semi Marathon De Paris that was held on March 3, 2013 in Paris, France.
Another interestingly shaped medal with some bold colors. I like it. And I like the trend of not just doing round medals.

This is the medal for the Paris Marathon that was held on April 15, 2012 in Paris, France.
I don’t know if I like this medal for Paris. I think when you think Paris Marathon, you think over the top bling. So many landmarks to choose from and they choose a shirt? Hmmm… What do you think of it?
