Hardware!

Now, don't get me wrong - your motivation for running an ultra should come completely from within, but a nice piece of hardware waiting at the finish line for you never hurts!  Here is a preview of the 50k, 100k, and 100 miler finisher awards.  Sub 24 Finisher buckle will be revealed soon.

One loop of this beautiful trail gets you this great medal!  Yes, the raised section is the actual trail you will be running! 

A trail so nice you looped it twice!  Here is your 100k medal.

I have to admit, I am a buckle snob. I have gotten a sub par buckle in the past and was not happy about it.  These, I am very happy with!
