    Other side of the spinner medal

    A note about the medal design: Most years for the Capital Credit Union Houdini 10K | 4imprint Race Series, we focus on recognizing one of Harry Houdini's famous tricks in our race medal design. Our 2025 event 'spinner' medal honors Harry Houdini's "vanishing elephant" trick, performed on January 7, 1918, which involved an elephant named Jennie and remains one of magic's greatest mysteries due to its clever execution and the speculation surrounding its method. Of course, we put our own running touch on it - "Jennie" needed shoes, too!
