Here is the finisher’s medal from the Oklahoma City Memorial Half Marathon that took place on April 28, 2012 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

It’s a beautiful, peaceful, and serene medal that pays homage to the memory of those who lost their lives in the OKC bombings seventeen years ago with the image of The Survivor Tree elm.

This is one mega cool medal that has a very natural Native American feel to it.

Here is the finisher’s medal from this year’s Kentucky Derby Festival miniMarathon.  The men’s half marathon was won by Linus Chumba 1:02:40 and Alemtsehay Misganaw won the women’s race in 1:13:46.

I’m a huge fan of this medal, especially the fact that they minimized the “Presented by Walmart,” which used to feature much more prominently in previous years’ medals.  It’s not quite as badass as last year’s medal, but an excellent finisher’s prize nonetheless.

This beautiful medal was submitted by Run It Fast – Club member (RIF #132) Michelle Mitchell who ran a 9:17:05 (PR) 100K at this event. Her finish was good enough for 38th in Worlds and 25th in Europe.

Here is the finisher’s medal from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Madrid Marathon that took place in Madrid, Spain on April 22, 2012.

Rock ‘n’ Roll is usually hit or miss on their medals. They have had some really good ones and some duds as well (see Country Music 2012).
