2027 Medals Will Follow the Run Stillwater Tradition and Fit Together as a Set
Every year we try to out-do our selves and 2027 will be no different. The overall design is always fresh and new, but the theme stays the same with each set fitting together to make a larger image if you run the full series in a season.
Of course, each medal stands on its own. But, by running all five Run Stillwater races you’ll have the full set and the satisfaction of your accomplishment five times over!
Every year we try to out-do ourselves and 2025 is no different. We hope you’ll love them as much was we do!
