It’s all about the bling for many runners, which led me to wonder who really has the best marathon medals? Best half marathon medals and all the distances in between!
Running a marathon is a test of endurance, patience, and willpower. Receiving a finisher medal is one of the best parts of finishing a marathon.
These medals are a reminder of the distance you’ve covered and the obstacles you’ve overcome. Some marathons around the world offer unique and impressive medals, which runners choose based on the design and uniqueness.
Marathon medals come in all shapes and sizes, but some stand out as the best and represent some of the most popular marathons in the world.
Since I don’t race for the bling {though I do have some medals I love!}, I had to reach out to the RTTF community to find out what makes your eyes bulge and your wallets leap from your hands to sign up.
What Makes a Great Race Medal?
For runners, the finisher medal is a symbol of achievement that they proudly wear. But what makes a race medal stand out?
It turns out there are a few common denominators in race medals that get you very excited:
- Size – Some medals are pretty big, while others are more standard size.
- Uniqueness – After a few, we seem to be drawn to the medals…
