Medal Design Symbolizing the 2026 Event Concept of "Authentic"
The medals were designed based on the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon's desire to create an event where everyone, from elite athletes to recreational runners and all those cheering them on, can discover value in their own way and genuinely experience the joy and appeal of running. On the front side, the design features a logo pattern that spreads out toward the top, expressing the exhilaration of everyone taking part and the excitement of the event. On the reverse side, "Tokyo Legacy Half 2026" is expressed in Braille, along with the logo, the word "FINISHER," and the date of the event. The medal ribbon was designed with the event logo motif, which resembles a tapestry woven from individual lines representing each runner, volunteer, and spectator. Since the inaugural event in 2022, TANAKA has been producing and providing the medals awarded at the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon, as well as the finisher medals presented to all runners who complete the race, and this will be their fifth time providing them.
