Finisher Medal
Finisher medals will be available to participants. Please note that the medals say 2022, but the backs of them will say 2023. The design is unique to the year, so these are not duplicates from last year. There was an unfortunate error with the design and casting of the medals. We have decided not to reprint the medals because we want to be able to maximize our donation to Impression 5 and their cause.
Shirts
Register by Feb. 17, 2023 to guarantee your shirt size and availability.
