I recently registered for the Apple Duathlon because I saw the cute apple awards in Steve Stenzel's blog last year.  What other races (MN) have adorable or really ugly or unique bling?  (I'm really slow but there's rarely more than 3 in my age group so I usually place).

The plainest awards come from... Frontrunner (you're surprised, I am sure).  They must make their own medals.  You get a colored medal that corresponds to the placement (gold, silver, bronze) and the same picture that is on the regular finisher medals.  I got one that had basically a white sticker, like an Avery label, with the placement printed on it.  Fancy!

For the TwinCities Triathlon I got am embroidered shirt with the race name and "2nd place Age Group" sewn under the name.  Cute idea, although I wasn't given a choice for size and they couldn't switch me later (I asked) so I can't ever wear it. Oh well.

I really like  the awards from Final Stretch.  The best was metal water bottle. I also liked the duffel bag I received a few years ago. They seem to switch it up.

The medals for the Ragnar relay are hefty metal suckers that also double as bottle openers.  Excellent!

Yeah, for things that all runners get Ragnar is pretty great.  I even got a double medal for Keys since I did another Ragnar in 2011.   The second one has TWO bottle openers, one on each end.  I couldn't wear the both for more than a few minutes because it made my neck hurt.

Those are cool medals.
