Two 9 carat, 300 gram solid gold trophies have been specially commissioned for GROE and will be awarded to the winners of the Nations Challenge Men and Nations Challenge Women.
The gold relay batons, worth over US$10,000 each, are seen as perfect symbols of GROE and fitting trophies for such a prestigious relay series. The batons are made of pure gold to represent the standard that winners of the Nations Challenge Men and Nations Challenge Women must reach to secure that first place.
They will be present at all four marathons in the series, where athletes and their coaches will be able to see what is at stake. The Nations Challenge winners each year will get to keep a replica of the Gold Baton.
