Yellowwood - South Africa's national tree. So much better than a medal!
Cap and t-shirt. The shirt is Anette's. The women received shirts specifically for them...nice!
My 10km A Day Challenge is still going strong and well on track. I've had some good weeks in preparation for the Mont-Aux-Sources Challenge but will cut back during the next two weeks. So it is good to have some distance in the bank.

I think that is the best swag I've ever seen! I wish more races would get creative and do things like that.
The tree is the best idea! Great training so far!
That's some serious mileage. How is the recovery?
The tree is a very good swag.
That is a big challenge, you are doing a good but tough job, congrats.
A tree is much better than a medal, I agree!
and yay for women's specific tshirts for the ladies.
How unusual to get a tree - great idea! Impressive running numbers too... well done!
I love it when we get gender-specific shirts from our races. One of the biggest races I do has finally stopped using cotton shirts and gone to technical fabric but they still haven't worked out that women aren't the same shape as men. And I still won't wear their shirts.
I love the tree idea. What a great memory of a race to have a tree in your backyard.
My husband would be thrilled if I came home with a tree instead of a medal.
Love the tree! And wow - you've been really proactive with your mileage - good job!
I like the tree! What a fun race reward :) Annette's shirt is nice too. I always prefer gender-specific running shirts.
Those are some great KMs! Is your challenge through runningahead by chance? Or some other group?
Awesome swag! It's fun to get something in lieu of or in addition to medals and tshirts!!
10k a day? That's awesome! And some cool swag you got, too. I like the tree in the pot on your table, a very nice touch! :)
That tree is really better than a medal! the running shirt is nice too.
Have a nice week of training!
I love the tree! What a great idea!
Great idea....
I like that hat! And I'm a big fan of woman-specific shirts for races...as long as I know that's the case! I've ended up with too small shirts when I've ordered my men's size only to get there and have it be womens. Still, very cool. And I love the tree!
Very impressive mileage. I've been seeing all your runs on DM! I think the only other race I've seen with vegetation awards is the Portland Marathon, which gives out little fir tree saplings. Very cool, indeed. I would love to plant a tree in honor of finishing a race!
