As a testament to your commitment, all registrants receive a custom-designed, impressive 4-inch Shark Bait Challenge medal, featuring a bull shark selected by past participants, regardless of whether the full 150 miles are completed. For those who exceed the 150-mile target, additional shark-themed charms are awarded for every 10 extra miles, up to 20 charms, adding an extra layer of accomplishment.
