Every year, we have extra medals left over from the Tarantula Run.
Not all the age groups in all the races get full entries, and we've kept the medals we don't use.
We've collected a lot of medals in four years. We always like to try a new design each year, and the runners seem to enjoy having different medal designs, so we don't use old ones over again.
I was wondering if we put some cute stickers on them, if they'd be acceptable to give to the kids in the free 1K Run?
We usually give ribbons to all the kids, and can do that again. But we do have a bunch of old medals on a shelf, and MAYBE the kids would like them. We have enough for all the kids, and would hand them out like we do the ribbons, everyone gets one.
On the other hand, MAYBE the kids wouldn't like the medals.
Our later medals are somewhat heavy, MAYBE kids will use them as weapons against their brothers, sisters and pets!
MAYBE the runners who earned those medals in past years would not like to see their hard-fought medals given away.
Let me know what you think. I don't have kids at home, so have no idea...and my co-workers who have kids in the race are off on vacation.
A little guidance would be helpful. Please send an e-mail to jfreschi@ccwater.com or call me at 925 688-8175
Thanks,

Kids LOVE medals. My son ran a turkey run last year and they gave a medal. It's hanging on his wall, his pride and joy. He can't wait to run HIS race again this year. I think recycling the old medals is a great idea.
Thanks Amanda,
Nice to hear about your son, and HIS race.
We got a pretty good deal on medals this year, so we expect to be able to give the current medals to all the participants in the kids' run.
Look forward to seeing you at the race and giving him our new color medal.
Jim
