Which marathon race offers the best medal for finishers?

Question

I've seen some pretty big medals from marathons in the US (Little Rock marathon in particular). I've heard rumours of a glass medal somewhere, can't remember where... I'm willing to travel anywhere to run if the medal makes it worth it!

Answer 1

I have done 2 marathons and many other races. Detroit has pretty cool marathon medals but there are many out there. They are all cool. I ran a half in nashvile and it was in the shape of a note. I ran a half in HELL michigan and it was a skull..... lots of medals out there but I guess it really isnt the medal that is important its the accomplishment that you did to get the medal.

Answer 2

The Little rock marathon claims the largest medals in the US

Answer 3

DUDE! It has to be Boston. The most talked about marathon in the WORLD. If you get a medal from there everyone knows about it!

THE BAA logo is so cool!



PS the glass medal (oxymoron) is the Glass City Marathon and it is really a Plexiglas medallion.

Answer 4

I'm with you, it's all about the medal! Detroit used to have a cool one, the one they gave out this year is pretty standard. Kentucky gives out a cool one in the shape of a horseshoe (since it's the Derby Festival)



On the other side, Chicago really cheaps out on theirs

Answer 5

The London Marathon is the best

Answer 6

Yea any Medal is good it proves that your a winner but also its the taking part and completing the course that sometimes matters trust me i have been there
