The marathon version is shiny gold, 2.5 inches in diameter, 7mm thick, and heavy! The Half marathon is 2", and made with an antique silver finish. The 5k version, also 2” in diameter, has an antique bronze finish. The medals hang from a state-of-the-art, heat-transfer ribbon, that's both dynamic and comfortable. Which one will be yours?!
The 2010 medals continue our Collectors' Series, featuring landmarks we run past. The design features the Princes' Gates at Exhibition Place — that marathoners and half-marathoners run by at 6km & 17km; and where the Waterfront 5K starts. Description and history of the Princes' Gates »

Best Dressed Costume: win $ for your charity
With thousands of people entered to run our Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K, some go the extra mile by dressing up for the occasion.
The number of participants who wear Fancy Dress during the Canada Running Series Races has grown over the past few years mainly to generate more attention for a particular charity as well as to raise more funds.
This year we have the pleasure in announcing that we have introduced a 'Best Dressed Costume' category in all three events.
The proposed categories and prizing will be:
- Best Costume in the marathon $2,500 for your charity; Honourable mention $500 for your charity
- Best Costume in the half-marathon $1,000 for your charity
- Best Costumes in the 5K: 2 x $500 for your charity
All costumes will be judged by 3 Celebrity / Media Judges at the Finish Line. Please note that you have to finish the race in your costume!
PLEASE NOTE that Winners must choose from one of the Scotiabank Group Charities or Neighbourhood Charities to allocate their prize money.
So who will you be? Fred Flintstone yelling 'Yabba Dabba Doo', Buzz Lightyear racing to infinite and beyond or will you dress as Superwoman hoping to be the fastest female super hero to cross the finish line?
