Why Should Your Race Medal Be Boring? (Spoiler: It Shouldn’t)

Let’s be honest, runners say they’re in it for the fitness, the community, the personal goals... but we all know a cool medal can be the deciding factor when someone’s picking their next race.

No joke, according to Running USA, about 1 in 6 runners say the finisher medal helps them choose what races to sign up for. And other surveys say it’s closer to 1 in 3. So yeah… medals matter. A lot.

That’s where we come in.

At Runners High Medallions (RHM), we help races design medals that are more than just shiny souvenirs. We’re talking:

• 🌀 Spinners
• 🍷 Wine stoppers
• 🍺 Bottle openers
• 🎅 Tree ornaments
• 🧩 Moving pieces
• 🐔 Medals shaped like turkeys (yes, seriously)

We’ve done it all—and we love getting weird (in the best way).

“We LOVE to exceed the running community’s expectations by getting super FUN medals to kick the socks off of runners! We know some of these runners are ALL about the medals!” – Loren Law, Product Designer for Runner’s High Medallions. 

Turkey Trots & Santa Runs Are Coming…

Fall is HERE! That means it’s time for pumpkin pie, stretchy pants, and a bunch of themed races. If you’re putting together a Turkey Trot, Santa Run, or any kind of holiday event, we’d love to help you come up with something fun and festive.

Maybe your medal gobbles. Maybe it jingles. Maybe it opens a bottle of wine after the run. (Because… priorities.)

Whatever you’re dreaming up, we can help you make a medal that runners will remember, and actually want to hang on their wall (or tree).

No pressure, no big sales pitch, just fun ideas, creative collabs, and medals that totally kick the socks off your finishers!
