Used to date an avid runner. She had a participation medallion on a ribbon for every completed marathon. I'm pretty sure everyone who completes a 26-mile run gets one.

Yup, they do the same for half marathons, 10ks and 5ks

Sometimes the first 3 will get special medals, but but everyone else gets the same one

You get a ribbon from just 5 kilometers? Brb

Just did a 5k for cancer research this weekend and we got a medal for it 🤷🏼‍♂️ hell, my wife and dog (yes, my dog got her own medal, it was adorable) got one for one walking it 😅

Ultimately it's just a piece of cheap metal, not like it's impractical to give them out willy nilly

Doggo medal, that's awesome!
