Marathon awards can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, rubber, and wood. Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks that you’ll need to consider before making a decision.

Metal medals

Metal medals are perfect for those who want to make a lasting impression. These metals can be engraved with any design or text you want, giving them greater potential for customization

The weight and durability of this type means that it will last longer than other types such as plastic, so if quality is paramount, then metal may end up being your material of choice. For example, some of the medals for the Endurance,Challenge, Spartan Warrior, and Worldwide Marathon & Half marathon.

Plastic medals

Plastic medals are lighter and cheaper than metal medals, but they’re not as durable.

Lightweight disposable plastic medallions are cheaper and lighter than metal medallions. However, their lack of durability makes them risky for extended use on the water or waterfront, where there is wear and tear from sun exposure and moisture buildup from fogging in wet weather conditions.

Examples of famous marathon medals

The first marathon was run in Greece more than 3 thousand years ago. It’s said that runners who completed the course were awarded a leaf from a tree called olive after they finished their race, which eventually became known as an “olympic medal” because it symbolized victory and peace through competition

There is an international award for running marathons that has been given out since 1982. The prestigious feat of finishing a whole ultra long distance race brings you into consideration, but it’s not just about being in top 3 – there are multiple levels to achieve and this requires lots upon countless hours training!

How to design your custom race medals

When it comes to custom awards medals, there are a lot of things to consider. The design of the medal is important, as it will be what participants remember after they cross the finish line. Here are some tips on how to create an amazing race medal:

-Think about the overall theme of the race and try to incorporate that into the design of the medal

For example, if the race is themed around superheroes, you could use comic book characters or other superhero icons in your design.

-Keep it simple

Custom race medals don’t need to be too elaborate – a simple design that is easy to read will work best.

-Make sure the text and any logos are legible from a distance

You want people to and read what it says even if they are far away.

-Use vibrant colors that will stand out against the background

This is especially important for medals that will be displayed on a ribbon or lanyard.

-Include the race date and other important information on the medal

This way, runners can always remember when and where they ran their race.

When designing your finisher medals, keep these tips in mind! They will help you create a design that runners will love and which will commemorate their amazing accomplishment.
