This is the medal for the 2012 Run Crazy Horse Marathon held on September 30, 2012 in Hill City, South Dakota.  It is made of clay and boasts the sculpture of what the Crazy Horse Memorial will eventually look like when completed many decades from now.  It has a very charming, homemade look and the leather strap for a ribbon gives it a rugged, western feel.

There were 753 runners that participated in either the full or the half marathon.  Runners were more likely to run the half marathon, which sported roughly a 900 foot net descent, while the full marathon added a gradual climb from miles 13 – 20.

Here is the finisher’s medal from the Sioux Falls Marathon (and Half Marathon) that took place on September 9, 2012 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

This is the medal for the Leading Ladies Marathon that was held on August 19, 2012 in Spearfish, South Dakota.

The theme for this year’s women only marathon was The Lead Mare and the medal was based on a painting of the same name by Sarah Rogers. It’s a colorful and unique medal for a fun, fun, fun race! Seriously… it’s my new favorite marathon and I highly recommend it for the views and the support and bling! You can read my recap of it here.

By the way…Run It Fast – The Club had 3 members representing at this marathon!

Lisa RIF #5, Diane RIF #159, and Michelle RIF #124

Congratulations to Michelle Walker RIF #124 for getting 3rd place in the 40-44 age group!
