The finishers of the Village Bakery Wrexham Half Marathon did not receive your typical medal when they ran this half marathon on February 17, 2013 in Wrexham, North Wales! Instead they received a loaf of bread as their “medal”!

According to Rob, it was not a joke and was “the best ‘medal’ I have ever eaten”. I can see a bakery giving out bread as a prize. But it better be one darn good, freshly baked loaf of bread. Mmmm…warm bread… 🙂

This is the long awaited medal for the Twickenham 10K was held on December 9, 2012 in Twickenham, United Kingdom.

Someone stole all but one of the medals for this charity race while the race director was setting up the venue. BUT…the race’s sponsor stepped up and bought new ones so the runners could have a memento of their run and almost 2 months later, the finisher’s received their medal. Boo to the thief! Yay to the sponsor!
