YOUR EASTER 5K FINISHER MEDAL
Completing 5K deserves something special waiting at the finish line.
And this Easter medal certainly isn’t shy!
The Easter 5K medal features a bright and colourful spring design created to capture all the fun of Easter.
At the centre of the medal is an energetic running Easter bunny, complete with running vest, charging towards the finish surrounded by rolling green countryside.
Above the bunny, bold colourful lettering spells out:
