This is the medal for the Grandfather Mountain Marathon that took place on July 14, 2012 in Boone, North Carolina.

The marathon is held during the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, runs through the Blue Ridge Mountains, and finishes just before the games start so there are bagpipes playing and a big crowd. Solid medal for this marathon’s 45th Anniversary. Grandfather Mountain Marathon is on my to-do list for next year.

I love this medal and wish I’d been able to run this so I could get one! The jackal on it is fierce and has tons of attitude which is perfect for a trail marathon.
