【Plan A】
In the motif of a Möbius strip, a surface with one continuous face, the finisher's medal for the 10th Kyoto Marathon reaffirms that we are together as one in spirit, even though COVID-19 has forced us apart physically. With the design of nanten heavenly bamboo, which is said to drive off hardships, in the bamboo-shaped Arabic number 10, this apotropaic memento wards off evil fortune as a powerful guardian for runners and hopefully ushers in the time when humanity will overcome the pandemic.

【Plan B】
Drawn like the ripples in a stone garden, the number "10" for the 10th meet is featured in green - the main color of Kyoto Marathon. The act of creating shapes of ripples and other patterns in stone gardens is part of the ascetic training of the Zen sect, which urges one to quietly look at his/her own heart. This design is ideal for runners of Kyoto Marathon, who, believing in their potential, run the distance with the image of Kyoto's natural landscape in the likeness of a stone garden firmly placed in their mind.
