Big miles deserve big recognition.
In 2026, Run Project is leveling up how we celebrate half marathon achievements. For the first time ever, every runner who completes one of our half marathon races will earn an exclusive Half Finisher Medallion — a bold, collectible keepsake designed to honor the grit, commitment, and countless miles that go into conquering 13.1.
This isn’t just another piece of swag. It’s a symbol of showing up, pushing through tough training days, and crossing a finish line stronger than when you started.
What Is a Half Finisher Medallion?
Each Half Finisher Medallion is:
- 🏅 Race-specific — uniquely designed for each half marathon
- 💎 Premium-quality — built to stand out in your medal collection
- 🏃♀️ Earned, not given — only half marathon finishers receive one
You’ll earn your medallion the moment you cross the finish line — a tangible reminder that you did something hard, and you did it well.
Collect One… or Go for All Five 👀
In 2026, Run Project will host five half marathon events, and each one features its own custom Half Finisher Medallion. Whether you’re aiming for a single race or planning a full-season challenge, every finish adds another badge of honor to your collection.
Think of it as your Run Project Half Marathon Series — not officially timed or scored, but absolutely worth bragging about.
Complete one? Incredible.
Complete all five? Legendary.

Why We’re Introducing This in 2026
Half marathons are a sweet spot in distance running — challenging enough to demand real dedication, yet accessible to runners leveling up from shorter races. We wanted to recognize that commitment in a bigger way.
These medallions are about:
- Celebrating personal milestones
- Rewarding consistency and courage
- Giving runners something meaningful to look forward to at the finish line
Training isn’t easy. Race day isn’t guaranteed. Finishing deserves to be celebrated.
