The honest description of why people keep doing it

Not a slogan about winning. It is a description of a mechanism — the effort is unpleasant, the hours afterwards are not, and that trade is the reason a habit lasts twenty years rather than one winter.

Cut only at 60 and 75 cm. There is no small version, because the runners who recognise this sentence have generally been at it long enough to need the room.

Made only at 60 and 75 cm, both in 3 mm steel. There is no narrow version of this design.

These are the sizes available. If it is a present and you are guessing, guess upwards — a display that is slightly too big still looks right.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

The choice here is between 60 and 75, and that is the whole choice. This design is produced from 60 cm upwards — the cut-out detail doesn't hold at smaller widths.

Why stainless steel, not painted sheet metal

The medal hanger is cut from AISI 304 stainless steel (V2A / 1.4301), 3 mm thick depending on the width. Not painted sheet metal that chips at the first knock.

And it holds a continuous rail, not hooks. Twelve hooks means twelve medals. A rail holds as many as fit.

Getting it on the wall

Stainless standoffs, screws, plugs and a paper template are all in the box. Tape the template up, mark two holes, drill, and it is done inside a quarter of an hour.

After the first one is full

They're made to pair. A second unit sits flush against the first and the run reads as a single display. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.
