AWARDS FOR THE HEROES OF THE RUBICON 2025 EDITION
Rubicon is not a single race. The competition consists of dozens of stages, in which participants cover several kilometers, which is why this event is marked with special medals — the coats of arms of the districts the athletes cross.
Achievement medals
For outstanding achievements in the Rubicon race.
Medals for 100 km
Once the 100 km distance has been reached, the participant receives an additional medal with the "Rubicon" logo.
Medals with the coat of arms of the district
For passing from one stage in the district, the participant receives one badge with the coat of arms of the district.
The more such medals the ultramarathoners have, the cooler they are, because not everybody can boast of having "run through the whole of Moldova".
In addition to the trophy, the winner of the Rubicon will receive a special board with a map of Moldova, where he can place all the conquered stages.
