Built in the early 1970s as a surprise anniversary gift, the Blue Whale of Catoosa quickly became one of Route 66’s most beloved roadside icons. Originally part of a family swimming hole, this cheerful concrete creature has welcomed travelers from around the world for over 50 years.

Now, for our 20th running anniversary, we’re honoring the Blue Whale as the fifth and final medal in our Icons of Route 66 series. Featuring brilliant blue enamel and a tail that wraps the lanyard, this year’s medal is the perfect blend of nostalgia, charm, and finish line flair. 🎉

Whether you're running the Fun Run or taking on 26.5 miles with the Center of the Universe detour, there's a Blue Whale waiting to make a splash in your collection.
