It’s Medal Monday 🏅

This year’s Driftless Half Marathon medal finishes a story — and this one is especially meaningful.
Our 3rd commemorative medal honors the historic Blackhawk Bridge that has long been part of our course and community. We wanted to capture a piece of its legacy for every runner who has crossed it, cheered on it, or snapped a finish-line photo nearby.

Bridges connect more than roads — they connect people, miles, memories, and moments. 💛

Run the miles. Earn the medal. Remember the bridge.
