Why order in November

December post gets busy. Ordering now means your medal arrives in plenty of time, and you can start your miles whenever you are ready.

Make it a family one

Pick the 1.5 mile distance and do it together. It works well as a Christmas Eve walk, a Boxing Day leg-stretch, or a few short outings spread across the holidays.

Prefer it free?

There is also a free digital version with an instant digital medal, if you would rather not have one posted.
