This year's medal pays homage to the neighborhood where tired legs complete the 10-mile run: South Philadelphia.

The medal also has a bottle opener on it. That should make it easy for finishers to open a celebratory beer or another beverage of choice.
The 2022 race returns to the spring and in-person with spectators. It comes after two years of races that were unlike any of the four decades of previous runs.
The 2020 race was held virtually in October after the COVID pandemic clobbered large in-person events.
A smaller-than-normal field of runners then took part in the 2021 race, which was held in person in the fall with a new course, no organized fan areas and COVID restrictions in place.
