FINISHERS MEDALS

Finish Strong – Every Athlete Deserves a Medal!

At our events, every single finisher is a champion — and we believe that effort deserves to be recognised.

That’s why every participant, in every Amphibian event, will receive a custom-designed Finishers Medal. Whether you're tackling the short course or braving the Super Long distance, you’ll cross the line and have something special to hold in your hand (and hang proudly on your wall).

These aren’t just medals — they’re a symbol of everything you’ve pushed through: the early mornings, the cold water, the tough trails, and the grit it takes to keep moving forward.

The Inaugural Amphibian Thermal Jacket


Rugged, warm, and made for the elements — this limited-edition jacket (worth over $200) is free for all Long and Super Long participants. It’s a symbol that you took on the toughest Amphibian courses and conquered them.

Everyone gets a Amphibian Cap

🧢 Amphibian Hats for All Short and Mid, long and Super Long Racers

Cross the line and receive your very own Amphibian finisher hat — a lightweight, breathable essential perfect for post-race chilling or everyday training. It’s a gift for showing up, suiting up, and pushing through.

Every Distance = Epic Rewards

Whether you're in for the short splash or the long haul, every athlete finishes with something special. You earned it.
