The Bang and Olufsen Yorkville 5K medal will leave you (and your smartphone) recharged
The B&O Yorkville Run has a medal with a feature you’ve likely never seen before.
The race medal for the Toronto-based boutique 5K on Sunday has a medal with a unique lanyard, in the form of an iPhone or Android charger. The race begins and ends in Yorkville, a neighbourhood in downtown Toronto, and loops Queen’s Park on a flat and a fast course.
Charles Philibert-Thiboutot shared a photo of the rather innovative medal on Friday. The 2016 Olympian will be on-site in Toronto on Sunday in a commentating capacity. In 2016, the 26-year-old set a new Canadian soil record for the 5K, clocking 14:04.6 to win the national road 5K title.
