ORDER YOUR VCM WINTER RUN MEDAL!
Price: € 5
Order: until the closing date of the respective competition together with the registration or via link in your registration confirmation.
The VCM winter running medal is a great souvenir of your run. It is a three-dimensional snowflake and consists of two interlocking wooden parts with a ribbon. The VCM Winter Run medal is manufactured in Lower Austria and made from regional wood. We therefore offer a resource-saving and sustainable memento.
Important: There is no reordering on site! If you would like to receive a medal, you must order it in advance.
The top 3 in the overall standings of each race will receive their VCM Winter Run medal at the award ceremony, regardless of whether they order it or not.
