Custom Running Medals

Racers train. Racers compete. Racers cross the finish. Whether the competition is a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon the gleam of a shining custom race medal is sought by those who compete to cross the finish line. Custom race medals are worth more than their weight in gold to those who earned them through sweat, tears, and buckled knees. Racing medals are symbols of accomplishment made through a singular effort by racers to test themselves and go the literal distance.

Some racers reach only for the top, pushing themselves to exhaustion to be the first over the hill and earning that first gold at the finish. Other racers have more personal goals, dedicating themselves to changing a lifestyle and rebuilding themselves mile by mile to lose weight, to overcome physical weakness, or to simply prove to themselves that they can. No matter their cause, our company considers them all champions.

Custom Running Medals for First Place and Finishers

Award medals are a sports tradition found in nearly every official racing event and are about as synonymous with racing as poker chips at a casino. The top performers at a race traditionally receive uniquely designed road running medals made for first, second, or third place in recognition of their distinct accomplishment while “Finishing” medallions are often given to all participants who perform the impressive feat of completing a racing event.

Some outsiders may roll their eyes at the thought of a “participation medal,” and it’s true, some runners don’t bother keeping the finisher medals for smaller events like 5K road runs. However, both champions and finishers alike often treasure their individual medals for first or finish especially when they are given in recognition for completing some of the toughest races and competitions.

Examples of road running competitions worldwide where the simple act of participation is an exceptional test of athleticism in of itself include:

Runners Racing for Glory, Medals, and Charity

Runners run for the glory of testing themselves and move the distance so they can prove to themselves and others that they have achieved a great thing. Other runners simply like running races for the sport of it and have a collector’s joy for gathering a unique collection of road running medals earned through sheer effort of a race.

Some medals are awarded as and kept as trophies, while others are awarded and kept as keepsakes of races run for charitable causes. Those medals a racer wins for a cause they believe in are often treasured above the medals they earned simply for their athleticism and hold a special place in their collection.

Major running events held to raise money for a charitable cause include:

Relay For Life, a series of 6-24 hour relays organized by the American Cancer Society to advocate and raise money for cancer care.
Run for the Water, a charity run organized by the Gazelle Foundation to build sources of clean water in Burundi Africa, and have provided over 84,060 people with reliable clean water.
Wings For Life World Run, run by international not-for-profit foundation Wings For Life for spinal cord research, pits racers against a “catcher car” to try and keep racing for as long as it takes before they are caught.
The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, a series of 5K runs and fitness walks held worldwide to raise money and awareness to breast cancer. Since beginning in 1983, the event has attracted more than 1.6 million participants worldwide and raised over $2.9 billion for its cause.
