Canada’s Best Bling

Our 10 must-have medals from around the country

When it comes to finisher’s medals, there are two major camps of runners: those who couldn’t care less whether they receive a medal for their efforts, and those who sign up for events based on the hardware offered at the finish line. In the end, runners who love those little trinkets outnumber the ones who don’t. They’ve got race organizers across the country looking to outdo themselves from the previous year. We’ve rounded up a list of 10 of our favourite race medals from across Canada from 2016. Whether you’re a medal snob or a casual collector, you’ll want to add these races to your 2017 bucket list.
