The Flyway Series Medals

Waterfowl migrate each Fall and Spring through the four major flyways of North America. Each medal in the FOUR-YEAR series will feature an iconic waterfowl species in that flyway that slides up and down the medal. All pieces will fit together in the final year to form the North American Flyway Map.

4-year Medal Series
2025 - Atlantic Flyway - Canvasback
2026 - Mississippi Flyway - Wood Duck
2027 - Central Flyway - Mallard
2028 - Pacific Flyway - Pintail

An acrylic frame will be available for purchase to display all four medals together.

Join us after the race for a post-event celebration, finisher awards, and libations at Evergood Adventure Wines in Palmer Lake. Cross the finish line and toast to a successful Dash. Evergood Adventure Wines will host Dashers at their winery location, just a half-mile from the finish line. Dashers can relax and enjoy some of Evergood's unique wines and custom cocktails.
