I just got my virtual goody bag for my 1/2 Sun, and there was a coupon to get a discount to run this race- I want to run it just to get the medal. It says that the photo is last year's medal- I hope this year's is a bottle opener, too.

Has anyone run this race before?

I would run it for the medal. That's pretty awesome!

Do you even run?

Wow. I'd run for the post-race party. Very cool.

Short term goal: 2:59:59 (November, 2013)

Mid term goal: Any race over 80% of top AG standard

Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).

The 2012 RW Half Festival medal was also a bottle opener, but I personally would never use it for one.

I cracked open a beer with it as soon as I got home just 'cause I could. Smile I haven't used it since.

Looks like they have a virtual option and you can still get the medal, FYI.

I got bottle opener medal at the 2010 Atlantic City Marathon. I wear it/use it frequently when we're hanging out in the back yard in the summer.

Heck yes. A bottle opener is made to be used.

I may have to make the AC Marathon a new goal.

I saw that- I've never heard of a race doing that before. I don't race a lot, though.

The March 23 HM that I will DNS has a bottle opener medal. I was looking forward to getting that. Eff.

You should request that someone who runs it donate their medal to you, a la the meltdown thread.

I should sign up for the virtual, heck I run 13.1 or more on two runs each week! Why not get something for it?
