Running Medals

Running medals for races and events

Choose running medals for race finishers, school sports days, cross-country meets and club events. Medals can recognise every participant or mark places and age-group results at your presentation.

Planning your medal order

Start with your event format and expected numbers. List each race, age group and award level, then decide whether every finisher will receive a medal. If you are planning several races, keep the quantities separate so the awards are easy to hand out on the day.

Browse the current running medal designs and check each product page for its finish, size and any available ribbon or personalisation choices. Options vary by medal, so prepare the wording and quantities for the specific products you select.

Running medal questions

Should every runner receive a medal?

That depends on your event. A finisher medal can mark participation in a fun run or school race, while separate medals can recognise first, second and third place. Set your award plan before estimating quantities.

What wording should I use for personalised medals?

Use a short event name, achievement and year where space allows. For example, “School Cross-Country — Year 6 Winner”. Check the personalisation area and character limits on the chosen product before ordering.

Can I combine medals with larger winner awards?

Yes. Medals can cover finishers or age-group places, while a trophy can highlight the overall winner or a club achievement. Browse our running trophies for matching race presentation ideas.
