2025 Medals Will Follow the Run Stillwater Tradition and Fit Together as a Set
The most asked question before the season starts – “When can we see the medals?” Here they are. The design is always fresh and new, but the overall theme stays the same.
Of course, each medal stands on its own. But, by running all five Run Stillwater races you’ll see they fit together to form the Run Stillwater Race Series set.
Every year we try to out-do ourselves and 2025 is no different. We hope you’ll love them as much was we do!
