Dereham 10

The Dereham Runners 10 mile race starts at Dereham High school and makes a loop east into a rural test of stamina and mental fortitude, the stamina – because some light rolling hills over 10 miles soon add up, and the mental fortitude – because the beginning and last 4km take place along a stretch of relatively busy road.

The Medal

The medal is small and brass coloured diecast depicting 2 people running toward one of Norfolks famous windmills with enamel colouring.

Weight43g
Dimensions51mm Dia.
MaterialMetal and enamel

The Ribbon is dual coloured with the race name, distance and date printed on it, however the material is coarse and terminates to the pendant with a small metal ring, making it difficult to present straight as it has a habit of rotating.

Overall I rate this medal 5/10

The poor quality ribbon, ribbon mounting and the size and basic design of the medal let it down when compared to the competition in the area.
