This is the fun finisher’s medal for the ET Full Moon Midnight Marathon/51K/Half Marathon/10K that was held on August 18, 2013 in Rachel, Nevada.

This is a fun race that starts at midnight in the desert near the infamous Area 51 in Nevada. The medal is totally appropriate for this race…and it glows in the dark! This is one of my favorite races.
