AIMS Medal & T-shirt Awards

T shirt cr

Frank Baillie presented the first AIMS Running Medal & T-shirt awards. Within the AIMS membership alone medals are valued at over $10 million dollars and the T-shirt industry at over $27 million dollars per year.

A range of innovative ideas were highlighted such as medals being created in the form of a year on year jigsaw where they fit together to form a picture. The Hans Christian Andersen Marathon (in Odense, Denmark) medals each year celebrate one of five stories from the world-famous writer’s fairy tales, encouraging runners to come back each year and build a collection celebrating the rich history of Danish literature.

Prices paid for medals ranged from $1–$30 and for T-shirts from $2–$10.

The winners of AIMS T-shirt Award 2018:

1st place: PKO Poznan Marathon (Poland)

2nd place: Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon (Canada).

3rd place: Maraton Valencia Trinidad Alfonso (Spain)

AIMS Medal Award 2018:
