To say that I have outgrown athletic medals is an understatement. Having been a successful three sport athlete in high school, captain of a highly successful lacrosse team in college, and decades as a competitive runner, Nordic racer, and for a time, a competitive karate practitioner; I have massive amounts of hardware ... and of course, T-shirts and other memorabilia.
I have ceased to collect or care about those baubles.
However, this race has such a cool take on this tradition. There are 38 individual 4000m peaks that can be climbed from Zermatt. In order of height, each year this race strikes a commemorative medal of a different peak ... this year ... the Dent Blanche.
