Make Your marathon Successful With Custom Finisher Medals

For a marathon event, aside from the services provided, the awards are the most appealing aspect. Marathon runners deserve to receive a beautiful and unique finisher’s medal, but you’d be surprised to hear that many participants don’t receive any reward for completing the entire marathon, or they receive a dull, unimpressive medal that isn’t worth showing off. As a race organizer, this presents an opportunity for you to make your marathon unforgettable. (And customizing medals may not be as expensive as you think.)

Expand Your Influence

For the average marathon participant, everyone hopes to receive an exclusive medal for that particular race. In fact, for collectors, they look forward to gathering the unique medals from each race, eventually forming a complete set for the year. For race organizers, this not only enhances participation but also helps expand the influence of each marathon event.

Motivating Finishers

For marathon participants, the greatest motivation to complete the race is their own willpower. Therefore, we need to encourage them. A unique medal can be a powerful incentive for finishers, and offering such a distinctive medal will attract more participants to sign up for your event.

Increase Registrations

For a marathon event, promoting and showcasing your finisher’s medal is the simplest and most cost-effective way to attract registrations. Humans are social creatures who enjoy sharing their rare, unique, and meaningful experiences. A uniquely designed medal becomes a symbol of pride for marathon finishers, and this, in turn, will help you expand your marathon event and attract more participants to sign up.

Why Should You Order Medals in Advance?

Ordering your medals in advance allows you to use them as a promotional tool well before race day. You can showcase them on your website and social media to boost visibility, or create physical posters to attract passersby.

Ordering in advance also helps save costs. Since finisher medals are typically ordered in large quantities and require longer production times, placing your order early allows the factory to extend the production timeline, ensuring quality and reducing defects. Additionally, it enables you to opt for the most cost-effective shipping method, such as sea freight.

For marathon organizers, ordering finisher medals six months in advance can result in significant cost savings.

Increase Visibility and Attract Sponsors

What do sponsors hope to achieve from a marathon event? The answer is clear: every sponsor wants to expand their influence. This can be achieved by designing a cool, eye-catching medal that aligns the goals of both the event organizers and the sponsors. Our artists will incorporate the event’s theme, setting, logos, and sponsor elements into the design to create a unique medal for each race.

For sponsors, they will be delighted to see their brand and logo prominently displayed, making them more willing to sponsor the event. In addition to featuring their designs on the medal itself, we can also incorporate sponsor logos onto the ribbon, ensuring maximum visibility for their brand.

As your marathon gains more recognition, sponsors will actively seek out opportunities to be part of your future events. Doors to sponsorships will open wide for you, and the number of participants registering for your races will continue to grow. This is something that ordinary marathon medals alone cannot achieve.
