SAN FRANCISCO -- The familiar Giants logo will make a joint appearance with cherished national iconography on the medal that will be distributed to participants in The Giant Race, scheduled for Sept. 11.
The medal, unveiled today, bears the shape of the continental United States, with a design that's evocative of the U.S. flag. The left side bears white stars against a dark blue field; the right side features alternating red and white stripes. The orange interlocking "SF" appears in the middle.
Entrants also will receive a special edition bobblehead of shortstop Brandon Crawford gripping an American flag, The figure also sports running shorts and an orange Giants jersey with a runner's number cleverly "pinned" to the jersey.
