A design competition is underway for the Shakespeare Marathon and Half-Marathon 2026 medal, open to children in Warwickshire.
Each year, event organizers RunThrough and supporters ask children in Stratford to design a medal that will be awarded to thousands of runners who finish the race.
Previous designs have featured the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, swans on the River Avon, and scenes from around the town.
We look forward to seeing your colourful and creative designs.
said Andy Veale, editor of the Stratford Herald, which organizes the competition along with Stratford Rotary Club.
Children are encouraged to come up with their own unique image for the medal.
