The Women’s Half Marathon Scottsdale - Tempe Announces One-of-a-Kind Finisher’s Medal |
|
|
|
For Immediate Release
July 8, 2010, St. Petersburg, Fla.: The Women’s Running Magazine Women’s Half Marathon formally unveiled the one-of-a-kind patent-pending finisher’s medal to be awarded at its inaugural November 7, 2010 Scottsdale-Tempe half marathon. A rendering of the medal is available at womenshalfmarathon.com/scottsdale-tempe/medal.
The unique two-in-one award features a large, flower-shaped medal with a removable, two-sided sun charm positioned in the center. The charm can be removed and attached to a necklace or charm bracelet. Half marathon finishers also will receive the ultimate goodie bag—a reusable designer bag and a custom-designed, women-specific tech tee.
Race Founder Dawna Stone says, “No race has ever offered a two part finisher’s medal like ours. Having a finisher’s medal that is part medal and part charm allows women to wear the charm as a constant reminder of their achievement while still being able to display their medal, something that is important to many.”
The Women’s Half Marathon Scottsdale-Tempe starts on Scottsdale Road in charming Old Town Scottsdale. The scenic, walker-friendly course winds south along the Arizona Canal and is adjacent to Papago Park. The race will finish in beautiful Tempe Beach Park and will be followed with an unforgettable lakefront party.
A “charm transfer station,” staffed with volunteers who can immediately transfer the charm from the medal to a finisher’s necklace, will be positioned in the park as well. Those who are not ready to do the half-marathon distance can choose to take part in the Women’s Running Magazine 5k, a 3.1-mile course that will start just after the half marathon. Both the half marathon and the 5k are designed to be extremely walker-friendly – participants can maintain a 20-minute per mile pace and still
finish within the time limit.
Currently, participants from more than 26 states and Canada have registered to participate. The Tempe Mission Palms will serve as the host hotel and the DoubleTree Paradise Valley Resort will host the two-day health and fitness expo in its grand ballroom.
The expo will take place on the Friday and Saturday prior to the Sunday race day.
