Runner Medal Hanger (Male) — Running Medal Holder
$55.00
No motto. Just the sport.
A runner silhouette cut mid-stride through the steel. The design says which sport, and leaves the rest to the medals hanging underneath.
The numbers
Size
18 in wide / 46 cm
Steel
3 mm, black powder-coated
Bar layout
3 split bars
Medal capacity
60+ — tested, not estimated
Edge finish
Smooth, ribbon-safe
Hardware
Screws and anchors supplied
What the rack holds
Capacity is a function of ribbon width:
Ribbon
Per bar
Total
Standard 1.5 in
12–14
36–42
Wide 2 in
8–10
24–30
Narrow 1 in
18–20
54–60
Each bar is split, which stops ribbons drifting together. Overlap adds capacity beyond the table — 60+ is a conservative figure.
Why 3 mm matters
Most racks on the market are cut from 1–1.5 mm sheet. They bow visibly once a collection passes 30 medals, and the sag does not come back out. Three millimetres stays flat under a full load.
Installation
Fifteen minutes with a drill and a level. Hardware is supplied; the bit size depends on the wall:
Stud — 3 mm pilot, screw direct
Drywall — 6 mm bit with included anchors
Brick — masonry plugs, bought separately
Mount the top edge near 60 in from the floor, leaving 20–24 in of clear wall for the medals. Snug the screws rather than overtightening — crushed anchors are the usual reason a rack sags later.
What is in the box
Medal display rack, 18 in, 3 mm powder-coated steel
Screws and wall anchors
Mounting instructions
Ships from our US warehouse
Stocked in Illinois, dispatched within 1 business day on most orders. No customs fees, no international wait.
Who it is for
Men who race at any distance — parkrun regulars, 5K and 10K runners, half and full marathoners, trail and ultra runners. Works for a first race, a comeback season, a Father’s Day gift or a milestone birthday.
Also available
The same design with a female runner silhouette.
Wall load
Expect about 3.5 kg / 8 lb once sixty medals are on it. The included anchors are rated well beyond that.
Alongside a shelf
This is a medal rack, not a shelf — but it mounts cleanly under one. Leave 8–10 in of gap so ribbons hang free of the shelf edge.
Storage that is also display
A medal organiser only has to keep things tidy. A wall-mounted display has to be worth looking at. This does both — it takes the collection out of storage without turning it into clutter.
Questions we get asked
Will it hold my whole collection?60+ medals in most cases. Narrow club ribbons fit close to 60 across the three bars; wide finisher ribbons closer to 30, though medals overlap to add more.
What wall can it go on?Stud, drywall or masonry. Screws and drywall anchors are supplied; brick needs masonry plugs bought separately.
How durable is the finish?Powder coating is cured under heat, not painted on. The lettering is cut through the metal, so nothing can flake off.
Will ribbons fray on the bars?No — all edges are deburred after cutting.
I have trophies too — does this work with a shelf?It does. Shelf above, rack below with 8–10 in between, reads as one display.
What if I run out of space?Add a second rack alongside. The proportions match, so two look deliberate rather than improvised.
Our guarantee
Fifteen days to decide. If the display is not what you expected, contact us and we will resolve it.

Swim Bike Run — Triathlon Medal Display Rack
$55.00
Three sports, one wall
Triathlon medals are different — each one covers three disciplines and a transition zone where things go wrong. They deserve better than a drawer with the goggles and the spare tubes.
Specifications
Width
18 in / 46 cm
Material
3 mm steel, powder-coated matte black
Bars
3, each split into halves
Capacity
60+ medals — tested, not estimated
Edges
Laser-cut and deburred
Mounting
Pre-drilled, hardware included
Capacity, by ribbon width
The limit is the ribbon, not the medal. Here is what fits:
Ribbon
Per bar
Total
1.5 in — typical road race
12–14
36–42
2 in — championship and finisher
8–10
24–30
1 in — school and club events
18–20
54–60
Because the bars are halved, ribbons hang in lanes rather than sliding into one pile. Layering medals adds more on top of these figures.
About the gauge
Three millimetres is roughly double what a budget rack uses. The practical effect: no visible bow at 40, 50 or 60 medals, and no permanent sag once the weight comes off.
Mounting
Pre-drilled holes, screws and wall anchors are included. Drill sizes by wall type:
Stud: 3 mm pilot hole, drive the screw directly. Strongest option.
Drywall: 6 mm bit with the supplied anchors, tapped flush before driving.
Brick or concrete: masonry bit and plugs, bought separately — drywall anchors will not hold.
Hang the top edge at roughly 60 in / 152 cm from the floor and leave 20–24 in of clear wall beneath for the medals.
In the package
18-inch medal rack in powder-coated 3 mm steel
Mounting hardware
Instructions
Shipping
Every order leaves our Illinois warehouse, usually within a business day. Domestic delivery means no customs paperwork and no surprise charges.
Who it is for
Sprint and Olympic distance racers, 70.3 and full distance finishers, duathletes, aquabike athletes, and anyone whose garage has more bikes than the household strictly needs.
Finisher medals are heavy
Long-course finisher medals often come on thick lanyard-style ribbons and weigh noticeably more than road-race medals. Expect 8–10 per bar for those, and 12–14 per bar for standard race ribbons.
Trophies as well as medals?
Hang a trophy shelf above and this rack 8–10 in beneath. The shelf carries what stands; the rack carries what hangs. Together they read as one wall.
Organising, not just displaying
Wall mounting is the only medal storage that does not involve untangling something first. Separated bars, nothing stacked, nothing abrading.
Bought as a present?
Motto designs are the safer choice when you do not know the sport. Sport-specific designs land better when you do. Free US shipping applies over $99.
Frequently asked questions
How many medals does an 18-inch rack hold?Sixty or more, depending on ribbon width. Standard 1.5-inch race ribbons fit 12–14 per bar; wide championship ribbons around 8–10.
Can I mount it on drywall without a stud?Yes. The supplied anchors carry a fully loaded rack. Use a 6 mm bit, tap them flush, and avoid overtightening.
Will the finish chip or fade?The lettering is cut through the steel rather than printed, so there is nothing to scratch off. Powder coat is heat-cured and resists chipping far better than paint.
Do the edges damage ribbons?No. Every edge is laser-cut and deburred.
Can I use it with a trophy shelf?Yes. Mount the shelf above and this rack 8–10 in below, so medals hang clear of the shelf edge.
What happens when it fills up?The racks hang side by side. A second one lines up cleanly, and most collections need one eventually.

Taekwondo Medal Hanger — Martial Arts Medal Display

Split bars keep ribbons in place rather than letting them gather in the middle. Most collections exceed 60 once medals begin to overlap.
Built not to bend
A 1.5 mm rack starts to curve somewhere around the thirtieth medal. Three millimetres does not. It is heavier to ship and more expensive to cut, and it is the reason the display still hangs straight in five years.
Putting it on the wall
Everything needed is in the box. What changes is the wall:
Into a stud — 3 mm pilot hole, screw goes straight in
Into drywall — 6 mm bit, use the supplied anchors, tap them flush first
Into masonry — masonry bit plus plugs, sourced separately
Gallery height is around 60 in to the top edge. Allow another 20–24 in below for medals to hang into.
You receive
One 18 in medal display rack, 3 mm black steel
Wall fixings — screws and anchors
Fitting instructions
Dispatch and delivery
Stocked in the United States. Most orders ship the next business day, with no import duties and no international transit time.
Who it is for
Sparring and poomsae competitors, colour belts through black belt, ITF and WT practitioners. Also suits karate, judo and BJJ collections. Popular as a gift after a first tournament or at a belt promotion.
Martial arts medals are heavier
Tournament medals in taekwondo and karate tend to be thicker and heavier than road-race medals. Three millimetres of steel stays flat under a full load where a 1–1.5 mm rack would bow.
Storage that is also display
A medal organiser only has to keep things tidy. A wall-mounted display has to be worth looking at. This does both — it takes the collection out of storage without turning it into clutter.
Occasions
First race, comeback season, graduation, milestone birthday, Christmas, awards night. Free US shipping on orders over $99.
Layout options
Because each bar is split into halves, you can section the display instead of filling it end to end. Common groupings:
Chronological, oldest to newest
By event type — road, trail, track, championship
By distance, shortest at the top
Medals lift on and off individually, so the arrangement is not permanent.
Common questions
What is the real capacity?60+ medals. The variable is ribbon width: 12–14 per bar on standard 1.5-inch ribbon, 8–10 on wide championship ribbon.
Does it need a stud?No. Drywall anchors are included and hold a full load. A stud is stronger if one lines up, but it is not required.
Is the text printed?No — it is cut straight through the sheet. There is no ink or vinyl to peel.
Are the edges safe for ribbons?Yes. Laser-cut and deburred, so nothing catches or frays.
Does it work as medal storage as well as display?That is the point — wall mounting keeps medals untangled and unscratched, which a drawer does not.
Can I add a second rack later?Yes, they are designed to hang side by side at matching heights.

You have 15 days. Message us and we will make it right — replacement or refund, your choice.

Will Run for Beer — Funny Running Medal Display

Who it is for
Beer mile veterans, brewery run regulars, running club members who treat the post-race pint as part of the plan, and anyone whose race calendar overlaps suspiciously with the local taproom.
Same design, different drink
We also make Will Run for Wine.
Sorting
By year reads as a timeline. By distance reads as progression. By significance puts the races that mattered in the middle. Pick one before you hang anything — regrouping later is easy but hanging twice is not.
Weight
The display weighs about 1.2 lb / 550 g on its own, and roughly 8 lb / 3.5 kg fully loaded. Standard drywall anchors handle that; a stud gives extra margin if one lines up.
Combining with trophies and plaques
Medals hang; trophies stand. If you display both, put the shelf above and this rack beneath, with roughly 8–10 in between them so ribbons hang free.
The two together read as one wall rather than two separate displays.
Questions we get asked
Will it hold my whole collection?60+ medals in most cases. Narrow club ribbons fit close to 60 across the three bars; wide finisher ribbons closer to 30, though medals overlap to add more.

Will Run for Wine — Funny Running Medal Rack

First race, comeback season, milestone birthday, graduation, Christmas, or a coach’s end-of-year gift to a team. Free US shipping over $99.
Where to start
Most people begin chronologically and switch to grouping by distance once the collection passes thirty. Both work; the split bars support either without ribbons drifting together.
Load
Rack: approximately 1.2 lb (550 g). Rack plus sixty medals: around 8 lb (3.5 kg). Well inside what the included anchors are rated for.
Common questions

5K 10K 21K 42K Medal Hanger — Marathon Medal Display Rack
$55.00
Every distance, named on the wall
The 5K you weren’t sure you could finish. The 10K that stopped feeling long. The half where the last three kilometres rewrote what you thought you could do. The 42.2 you trained six months for.
They are not interchangeable, and a display that names each one says so.

How many medals actually fit
Capacity depends on ribbon width rather than medal size. Measured in practice:
Ribbon type
Per bar
Across 3 bars
Standard race ribbon, 1.5 in
12–14
36–42
Wide championship ribbon, 2 in
8–10
24–30
Thin club ribbon, 1 in
18–20
54–60
Bars are split into halves, so ribbons stay separated instead of bunching toward the centre. Overlapping medals pushes the total well past 60 on most collections.
Steel thickness is the whole difference
Thin racks — 1 to 1.5 mm — look identical in a photograph and bend within a season. At 3 mm the bar carries a full collection without deflecting, which is why this is the gauge we cut everything from.
How it mounts
Pre-drilled and supplied with fixings. Match the drill to the wall:
Timber stud: 3 mm pilot hole
Plasterboard: 6 mm bit, anchors included
Brick or block: masonry plugs, purchased separately
Around 60 in to the top edge puts it at eye level, with 20–24 in of wall left underneath.
Included
The rack — 18 in, 3 mm steel, matte black
Fixings: screws and anchors
Step-by-step mounting guide
US stock, US dispatch
Held in our Illinois warehouse and sent within one business day. Nothing crosses a border on the way to you, so there are no duties and no delay.
Who it is for
Runners working through the distances — first-time 5K finishers, 10K regulars, half marathoners chasing a personal best, and marathoners. Also for the runner who already has medals from all four and nowhere to put them.
Grouping the collection
Split bars mean you can section the wall rather than fill it. Group by season, by distance, or by the races that changed something. Medals lift off individually, so nothing is locked in.
How heavy does it get?
Empty, around 1.2 lb / 550 g. A full sixty-medal collection brings the total to roughly 8 lb / 3.5 kg. Two anchored points carry that without issue on plasterboard.
Pairs with a trophy shelf
If you also have trophies, plaques or a belt to display, this rack hangs cleanly above or below a wall-mounted trophy shelf. Mounting the rack around 8–10 in beneath a shelf leaves the medals hanging free while the trophies sit above the eye line.
We do not make the shelf — we make the medal display that goes with it.
FAQ
How much does it hold?60+ medals. Standard race ribbons fit 12–14 per bar; thicker lanyard-style ribbons 8–10.
Drywall or stud?Either. The included anchors are rated for a fully loaded rack on plasterboard; a stud gives extra margin.
Can the lettering wear off?No. It is cut through the steel, not printed or applied.
Do the bars catch ribbons?No. Edges are laser-cut then deburred, so ribbons rest on smooth steel.
Is this display or storage?Both. Medals stay untangled and visible instead of scratching each other in a box.
Can it expand?Yes — racks hang side by side, and a second one matches exactly.
Satisfaction guarantee
