Half a joke, and half not

Most runners have said it. Some of them meant it entirely — running is what got them through a year they do not talk about much, and the medals from that year are not really about the races.

This design is made only in the two wide sizes, which suits that: people who run for this reason run a lot. The 75 cm version carries up to 110 medals, which is a decade of most weekends.

Only the two wide sizes are made, and the reason is the audience. People who describe running this way are not occasional racers.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Between 60 and 75 cm, choose by wall space rather than by medal count. The count will catch up. This design is produced from 60 cm upwards — the cut-out detail doesn't hold at smaller widths.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Mounting

Everything is in the box: stainless standoffs, screws, wall plugs and a paper template. Mark through the template, drill, done — about ten minutes.

Running out of room

Buy a second and line it up directly beneath or beside this one — the proportions are designed so a pair looks intentional. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

Getting it to you

This medal holder is made to order in the EU and on its way within 3–5 working days, with fourteen days to send it back if it isn't right.
