Popular Race Medal Types We Customize

The medal types below are commonly chosen for different race formats, helping buyers compare size, structure, and finishing options based on event scale and participant experience.

1.Finisher Medals (5K / 10K / Half / Marathon)

If your race comes back year after year, modular medals make it easy to keep things consistent. The core design stays the same, so runners know it’s part of your series, but small updates—like a new year, fresh colors, or updated ribbons—keep each edition feeling special.

Processes suggested: Die casting, soft enamel coloring, antique gold or silver plating.
2. Runner Medals for Series Events

For races that return year after year, we keep the main medal design consistent, so runners instantly recognize your series. You just need to make a few updates—like new year markers, ribbon colors, or subtle details—to make each edition feel fresh, like a little trophy celebrating every runner’s effort.

Size suggested: Diameter 50–70 mm, Thickness 2-4 mm, Ribbon width 20–25 mm.

Processes suggested: Die casting, stamping, enamel coloring, laser engraving/relief engraving
3. Triathlon & Cycling Event Medals

Normal size: Diameter 65-85 mm, Thickness 3-6 mm, Ribbon width 25-30 mm

Customization Options

From event branding to production details, the options below help buyers customize race medals by design, process, finish, ribbon, and packaging based on event needs and budget.

1. Artwork & Branding

We’ll make your medal totally match your event—here are the details we can design for you:

● We’ll put your event logo right on there (vector files work best for super crisp prints, just so you know)

● You can add your race name, slogan, or date in any font you pick

● You can add the year or edition number for the yearly race series.

● Your race route—city maps, trail paths, or even a cute little finish line icon can all be shown on the medals.

● Label the distance: 5K, 10K, half/full marathon, whatever you need.

● Add unique serial numbers if you want to track participants or make collectible versions.
2. Processes & Effects

Worry about perfecting your medal? Rest easy—our in-house production supports diverse techniques to deliver you a perfect medal.

● Die casting: Ideal for creating deep 3D reliefs and complex medal shapes, perfect for detailed event imagery

● Metal stamping: Cost-effective, perfect for flat designs.

● Soft enamel: Bright, long-lasting colors. It can help your logo look sharper.

● 3D relief: Raised sculpted textures add depth and a nice tactile feel to athlete figures, logos, or nature designs.

● Cut-out designs: Openwork or hollow shapes that create modern, lightweight aesthetics and visual interest

● Laser engraving: Precise, permanent etching. Great for tiny text, serial numbers, or subtle background patterns.
3. Finishes

We offer a variety of metal plating and surface treatments to match your event tone:

● Base plating options: Classic gold, silver, and bronze tones to align with traditional award aesthetics.

● Antique finish: Oxidized, aged look that makes relief details stand out.

● Matte finish: Non-reflective, smooth surface that reduces glare.

● Brushed metal finish: Linear textured feel.

● Combination finishes: Mix of antique and polished plating to emphasize layered design elements (e.g., raised logo vs. recessed background).
4. Ribbons & Assembly

We’ll help you make your medals look great and easy to wear:

● Custom ribbons: Your event logo, patterns, or gradients can all be printed perfectly in full color or dye-sublimated.

● Width choices: Standard 20–25mm works for most races, and you can choose 25–30mm for bigger medals.

● Printing that lasts: Heat transfer printing keeps colors bright and fade-resistant.

● Secure attachments: Sturdy metal loops or split rings keep the medal and ribbon firmly connected.

● Custom lengths: Adjustable sizes fit adults and kids alike, or you can customize the lengths for special race categories.
5. Packaging for Bulk Distribution

Your customized packaging requests are absolutely workable：

● Individual packaging: if you need low-cost packaging, OPP bags are a nice option for you, or to add a branded back card!

● Premium upgrades: Custom gift boxes with foam inserts are perfect for VIP awards or commemorative collections that runners will treasure.

● Bulk shipping protection: Sturdy corrugated cartons with internal dividers stop medals from scratching during transit.

● Smart batch labeling: We organize labels by race distance, team, or category to make race-day distribution quick and easy.

● Export-ready packaging: Fully compliant with international shipping rules, including all customs docs and labeling you need.

Quality & Consistency

We know color mismatches, chipped paint, and inconsistent delivery are your biggest headaches—so we’ve built strict controls to eliminate them entirely:

● 100% visual inspection: Every single medal gets a hands-on check for defects before assembly, so you’ll never receive a flawed piece.

● Batch tracking: We use serialized production to maintain consistent quality even for large orders (10k+ pieces), so every runner gets the same great medal.

● Final packaging QC: Before your order ships, we’ll verify correct ribbon assembly, labeling, and piece count—so you can focus on race day, not logistics.
