With Rock ‘n’ Roll medals it’s usually hit or miss. The RNR SD Half Marathon medal is a hit with it’s vibrant colors and calming sailboats and palm tree.

This is the medal for the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon, the largest half marathon in the United States, held yearly in Indianapolis.  Runners are treated to a full loop on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which amounts to over 2.5 miles of the 13.1-mile race.

This year’s men’s race was won by George Towett in 1:05:08 and Lilian Mariita won the women’s race in 1:15:23.

It’s a pretty good medal.  Nothing spectacular about it, but it hits the right notes: colorful, detailed engraving of a racecar and a checkered ribbon.

Here’s a picture of the special medal given to the first 500 finishers:

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.

The race started in Buckeye, Arizona and finished in Glendale, Arizona as the beautiful back of this medal proudly displays.

I’m really a fan of this medal. It’s strong, bold, relatively simple, and classy.
