Kali has finished the first batch of buckles. Here’s a look at the “Ephedra” and “Juniper” models. Buckles are created from materials found on the course and each is unique from all of the others. They go through a pretty tedious process to be created. We’ll have them displayed on a table at the finish line and runners can choose their buckle after they’ve finished.
The 50 mile medallions are being done by a local company as well (Kenworthy Monument Co.) They are circular pieces of sandstone that have our logo printed on them with a varnish coat over the top. We’ll post pictures as soon as they’re ready.
Zion 100 Trail Run 
Beautiful! She does such unique and creative work.
YEA!! They are Awesome 🙂
Perfect!
OK, I’m not running this race, but have to say this is the coolest buckle idea ever. This alone makes me want to run the race next year, not because I want the cool buckle, but because I think it says a lot about the thought that has gone into this race!
Thanks, Ken! We ended up spending a little more time and money on the buckles than normal but we think that it was worth it
This race looks amazing! I just got back from a R2R2R with 3 friends and found this race. I sure hope I can join in the fun next year.
Look for registration for 2013 to open up in June, after we’ve had time to analyze this year’s event and runner feedback and make adjustments for next year.
I was considering Leadville for my first 100 but perhaps my backyard would be a better idea. I’m excited to see how this first race works out. It looks like a lot of work has gone into this. I’m glad someone made this a reality. I didn’t understand why Zion didn’t already feature a 100.
