For a marathon event, besides the services provided, prizes are the most enticing aspect. Marathon runners should receive a beautiful and distinctive finisher medal. However, it might surprise you to hear that many participants don’t receive recognition for completing the entire marathon or are awarded with a mediocre medal that doesn’t warrant showing off. As a race organizer, this presents an opportunity to make your marathon memorable. Additionally, the cost of customizing medals may not be as high as you imagine.

For the average person participating in a marathon, everyone hopes to receive the exclusive medal for that race. Some even have a hobby of collecting medals and aim to collect the exclusive medal from each race, forming a complete set of medals for the year. For race organizers, this can also increase their participant numbers and expand the influence of each marathon event.

Exciting Finishers

For participants in a marathon race, the greatest motivation to finish comes from their own willpower. Therefore, it’s crucial to inspire participants, and a unique medal can serve as a significant incentive for them to complete the race. A distinctive medal will not only tempt participants but also attract more individuals to register for your event.

For a marathon race, promoting and showcasing your finisher medal is the simplest and most cost-effective way to attract registrations. Humans are social creatures and engage in social interactions; people love to show off anything rare, unique, or experiences they have. Therefore, a uniquely designed medal will become a badge of honor for marathon finishers to flaunt, which in turn will help you expand your marathon event and attract more registrations.

Why is it important to pre-order medals?

Pre-ordering your medals in advance allows you to use them as a means to attract attention before race day. You can promote and increase your visibility on your website and social media platforms, as well as create offline display posters to attract passersby.

Pre-ordering helps you save costs. Typically, there are a large number of finisher medals to be produced, and the production time can be lengthy. By pre-ordering, the factory can extend the production time instead of rushing, which will to some extent increase the yield rate and reduce waste. Additionally, in terms of logistics, pre-ordering allows for the use of the most cost-effective sea freight method to deliver the finisher medals.

Therefore, for marathon race organizers, pre-ordering finisher medals six months in advance can result in significant cost savings.

Increasing visibility and attracting sponsors

For sponsors of marathon events, what do they hope to gain? The answer is clear: every sponsor wants to continually expand their influence. This can be achieved by designing a cool medal that brings together the goals of both the event organizers and the sponsors. Our artists will incorporate elements such as the theme, setting, logo, and sponsor elements of your event to create unique medals for each race.

For sponsors, they would be delighted to see their brand, logo, and other elements prominently featured in the promotion. They would be more than willing to sponsor. In addition to designing the medals, we can also incorporate sponsor logos onto the ribbons.

As your marathon event becomes increasingly renowned, sponsors will be drawn to your future events, and the doors to sponsorship opportunities will open wide for you. Simultaneously, your registration numbers will continue to grow. These are achievements that ordinary marathon medals alone cannot accomplish.
