The metric version, because most of the world counts in kilometres

Same idea as the miles design, different numbers. 21.1 and 42.2 are what appear on race bibs across Europe, and a display showing 13.1 and 26.2 lands slightly wrong on a wall in Munich or Bucharest.

Worth knowing when buying as a gift: check which numbers the runner uses. It is a small detail and it is the first thing they will notice. Everything else is the same — AISI 304, continuous rail, mounting kit in the box.

European race calendars run denser than American ones — more small races, closer together, often several in a month during spring. Collections here grow faster.

This medal holder comes in the widths listed here. For a gift, err wide — nobody has ever complained about too much room.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

A European club runner doing halves through spring and autumn can add ten a year. Start at 60 cm.

The steel, and why it matters

Every medal display in the range is AISI 304 — the same grade used for kitchen surfaces and marine fittings — at 2.5-3 mm depending on width. It doesn't rust, doesn't chip, and doesn't need looking after.

The bar is continuous. That's the whole difference from a hook rack: hooks give you a fixed count, a rail gives you a length.

Fitting it to the wall

Comes with stainless standoffs, fixings and a paper drilling template. On plasterboard use proper anchors rather than the plugs supplied — a full display is heavier than it looks.

When it fills up

A second unit mounts flush against the first, so the wall still reads as one piece rather than two things hung near each other. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.
