LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) -The Kentucky Derby Festival is sharing a first look at the 2025 GE Appliances miniMarathon and Marathon medals.
This year’s medal is rose gold and embellished with the Derby Festival’s Pegasus symbol surrounded by a “starburst design.”
“Each year, the finisher’s medal is a unique design to commemorate the hard work of our participants as they cross the finish line,” KDF Race Director Chris Martini said. “This year’s medal celebrates the excitement of the Derby Festival season and the accomplishment of running Kentucky’s largest road race.”
The medals feature signature colors from both the Race (blue) and the Festival (pink). The medal ribbons say “Happy Derby!” and align with the Festival’s “Happy” marketing campaign.


2025 marks the 52nd annual miniMarathon and the 24th run of the Marathon. The GE Appliances miniMarathon and Marathon will start simultaneously on April 26 at 7 a.m. on Main Street near Slugger Field. New for 2025, the Finish Line will return to Preston and Witherspoon streets, just outside the Waterfront.
Runners can register for the GE Appliances miniMarathon and Marathon at DerbyFestivalMarathon.com.
