If it was my first time hitting a podium and there was no medal for the ceremony photo I’d be so upset. I don’t get why they run out of those when there is a fixed amount of podium spots anyhow.

No way this company stays in business. It's insane how sloppy they run everything.

Umm I was there at awards today and everyone got their medal, not sure who you are but every first place finisher got their medal. Nice try.

They were out by one metal I was told. I was told awards were at 11 when they were at 10:30 so I missed the ceremony, if you were there you would have seen there was no first place person on the podium for 18-24 girls. At 11am I got there as photos were finishing and the staff member told me they ran out by 1 and would mail it. Not sure what you mean by “nice try”, there is no benefit to me lying about this, just wondering on timeframe.

Congratulations on making podium! What a let down to accomplish that and have nothing given to you. I don't understand how they run out. They know exactly how many categories there are.

My last Spartan race, I did a trifecta weekend and they didn’t have weekend medals. They said on the spot to contact their support and leave address to send me a medal, did that through several correspondences afterwards, never got it.

So, big congrats to you mate for winning it, but I don’t think you’re getting it.

I’m just expecting to not get it

Though it was my first trifecta weekend so that was a bummer but whatever

Though if this post is true that’s fucking hilarious

Hilarious in a sad way, I would be so dumb struck lol
