Finishers in the Comrades Centenary Hope Challenge will receive a beautiful gold and black medal, complete with a distance bar to denote the mileage done, be it the 5km, 10km, 21.1km, 45km or 90km distance.
The CMA unveiled the medal earlier this week to rave reviews from runners around the world.
Resembling the golden era of hope after the onset of Covid-19, this gleaming medal is designed with Comrades and recreational runners in mind.
Using highly specialized plating and polishing techniques, the medal has been created using a unique two-tone style in matt black and gold.
Measuring 87.55mm x 80mm x 4mm, it comes complete with a 25mm yellow and black trilobal satin ribbon denoting the name of this year’s virtual event, the Comrades Centenary Hope Challenge as well as the outstanding logo design.
The medal itself includes the various facets of the virtual aspect of the Comrades, encapsulating the Comrades logo, the 100 years of The Ultimate Human Race and gold and black colours of Comrades.
