Race Medals — Amazing Half Marathon

Creative Direction, Graphic Design, Merchandise Design


For the second and third annual Amazing Half Marathons, Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital wanted memorable medals with “something special.” In 2017, we chose a spinning alligator to add a whimsical touch; and in 2018, we expanded the series to full-color icons from the capital city.

All medals include stylized elements from Baton Rouge’s landmark bridge and the Louisiana state capitol, rendered in the same Art Deco style as the building itself. In fact, Louisiana has the only Art Deco capitol in the U.S., making the style appropriate for a race that celebrates the “Red Stick City.”

In 2017, runners who completed the Weekend Challenge received an additional medal, a large sunburst featuring a spinning gator. For the 2018 race, a similar design utilized an Art Deco color scheme and a larger spinner panel.

Race participants praised the medals as some of their favorites from around the world. Our marketing department received over 30 comments specifically stating they ran the Challenge partly to collect the 2018 sunburst design.
