The run to the beat HM medal (2009) was nice, runners legs that were also musical notes. I also like the Eastbourne HM one but didn't think much of the actual run!
Brighton 10K is by far the worst one I've had. Really cheap looking.
I love medals. I was so disappointed at the end of Hellrunner not to get one! It's the one thing I keep from all my races. Only one missing is Brighton Half 2009 which I somehow lost.....anyone who diesn't like medals got one of those knocking about they'd like to get rid of?!

Best one for me to date has to be the Hardwick X-Stream horse brass. Closely followed by Shakespeare 2011 (first ever marathon)
Although while we're talking about medal i do get annoyed at sharing. Shakespeare has Half and Full on it. MK half just has Festival of running and is given to 10k'ers....
The dymock half marathon medal seems to have a load of 70's porn stars masquearding as runners on, (who drew the shorts on the runner on the far right with the black top / white shorts! )

Anyone got a pic of the Tewkesbury one as that sounds good?
I really liked the Lincoln 10k medal this year. The worst i have is last years Bridlington half, (It wouldnt looked out of place as a 1 mile kids fun run medal). Mind you after seeing that Gebresellasie medal id have to say that is the worse ive seen.
I was thinking the exact same thing after completing my first race, the BUPA London 10K. Which races do have the best medals? Glad someone else had the same thought process.
Disney medals are awesome. I normally like the EMF ones but this years one was a bit phallic to say the least. Edinburgh Rock n Roll HM medal is pretty tasty too.
Nice edinburgh rock n roll medal.am signed up for two rock n roll halfs next year in san diego and seattle so hope medals stay high standard.saw pics for th rnr vegas run and its glow in the dark!american medals are the best and over the top!
worst = Stroud half marathon 2012. A chunky, circular piece of wood on a ribbon.Looks like a fat digestive bisuit and is destined for the wood burner ...

Best of mine was my first medal from the Longleat 10K last year. In the shape of a lion's head - fabulous, and also organised by 2:09 events.
Sadly, this year's medal was naff to say the least - a bog standard use-anywhere medal, with race name & date engraved on the back
Disney by far:
Brooklands 10K

Curses - can't see my photo. Will try again.
Loving the Brooklands 10K medal - jealous!
My Favourtite by far is the Birmingham one from 2010. Great detail on it and quite weighty.
To the other extreme, Plymouth one last year was naff, Hope they are better this year.
People say that the Tewkesbury one is supposed to be good. Hopefully if I complete, I'll see it for myself next Sunday

Will post pics soon...
Some nice medals here, though they're nearly all American marathons: http://26point2medals.com/
Incidentally, I view medals largely as junk, but can't quite bring myself to chuck them out. Does anyone else just throw them away?

all the rock and roll marathon series medals are pretty amazing,
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is my favourite so far, the medal is a wooden leaf shape.
best = Comrades (as featured on my profile pic)
worst = Stroud half marathon 2012. A chunky, circular piece of wood on a ribbon.Looks like a fat digestive bisuit and is destined for the wood burner ...
A medal made of WOOD?
But... but... it won't be shiny, it won't clink and clank with all the others .... you can't have a medal made of WOOD *harrumph*
Girls and germs if you want a really good medal check this race out.
