The medal is round and has a round jump ring threaded through the bezel that is attached to the jump ring hanging from the bottom of the ribbon. In the center of the obverse of the medal is a relief depiction of a two mast ship viewed from the stern. The ship is depicted sailing in water, headed towards a setting sun. Relief text around the medal reads, [NEW YORK CHAPTER KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS]. The reverse of the medal is engraved with text that reads, [60 YDS. DASH / '36]. Along the bottom edge is a stamped maker’s mark for Dieges & Clust, an eagle’s head in profile above three spearhead shaped banners with the text [D], [&], and [C] stamped inside each banner.
