Dinosaur Valley Endurance Run

Finisher Items (Medals, Buckles) and Awards

Finisher Items

50K, 25K, and 5 Mile finishers will receive a quality wooden finisher medal. 100K and 100 mile finishers receive a distance-specific belt buckle. There is a different belt buckle for 100 milers who finish in under 24 hours.
100 Mile and 100K finishers will receive a belt buckle.
Buckles are ordered months in advance. There is a possibility that with a high finish rate, you may not be able to take home a buckle ON RACE DAY. One will be made available for pictures, and then a buckle will be mailed to you about a month after the race if this occurs (once more buckles are produced). The race will take on the cost of mailing you your buckle in this instance. No matter what, whether it's race day or later, you will receive a buckle for finishing the 100K or 100 miler.
The priority will be that those registered for each distance get that buckle. Those in the 100 miler who complete 100K are more likely to have their buckle mailed to them later if we end up with a lot of drop downs and a lower no-show rate.

Different Belt Buckle Offerings

We have 2 different belt buckle styles available this year! We have a buckle design that debuted for the 2024 race, and we have a special, upgraded silver-plated buckle available too!

Standard Buckle Option (No Upgrade Cost)

We designed a new buckle in 2024 to celebrate becoming a Western States qualifying race!

Upgraded Silver-Plated Finisher Buckle

The standard buckles are beautiful, but for those who want an upgraded buckle, we offer this handcrafted buckle! This is a silver-plated buckle that has the race logo in the center. The buckle measures 3" inches tall by 4" inches wide. The back of the buckle has a hook for your belt hole. It also has a swivel bar to attach to your belt.

This buckle will be reserved with your name on it for TWO YEARS from when you pay for it. Read more and order here by July 15!

Awards

Overall placement and awards will be based on gun time for results.
100 mile runners with completed 100K distance will appear in 100K race results and be eligible for 100K awards as well.
You are only eligible for an award if you complete the course as it is laid out in the order it is meant to be completed.
For race distances held multiple times (25K and 5 Mile), awards will be just for that race start and not combined with other race days/times.
Awards may be mailed later at the athlete's expense. Please check in at Headquarters before you leave if you think you won an award.

Here are the awards in each distance:
