DESCRIPTION SHIPPING FAQ

Ask a runner about a race

They won’t give you the time. They’ll tell you about the hill at mile nine, the stranger who handed them water, the song that came on at exactly the right moment.

The medal is the bookmark. The race is the story.

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

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

Runners at any distance — 5K, 10K, half, full, trail, ultra. Also triathletes, swimmers and cyclists whose medals came from showing up repeatedly.

As a gift

Common occasions: a first race, an end-of-season team gift, a graduation, a birthday, Father’s or Mother’s Day, or Christmas for someone who has been quietly accumulating medals in a drawer all year.

Free US shipping on orders over $99, so two racks or a rack with sleeves ship free.

Organising the wall

Split bars make grouping practical: by year, by distance, or by what each race meant. Most people start chronological and switch to distance once the collection passes thirty or so.

Nothing is fixed — medals slide on and off without disturbing the ones beside them.

Weight and wall load

The rack itself weighs about 1.2 lb (550 g). Loaded with sixty medals it reaches roughly 8 lb (3.5 kg) in total — comfortably within the rating of the supplied drywall anchors, and nowhere near the limit if you catch a stud.

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.

  1. How many medals will my display hold?

This depends on your presentation goals and personal aesthetic. Do you want to look like a medal hoarding champion? Do certain medals require more prominence? Given that our mount displays are quite sturdy, weight has generally not been an issue assuming they're properly mounted. Your only other limit is space.

Here is our recommendation:

Product Size (Width)

Recommended Number of Medals

17.72 in (45 cm)

15 - 20 Medals / Bar

The standard mounting kit consists of:

  • 1. (3x) Stand off fixings
  • 2. (3x) Screws
  • 3. (3x) Drywall anchors.
  1. What tools do I need to complete installation?

A screw driver with the smallest standard head, which is identified as #1. We also recommend you use the included drywall anchors for which you will need to make an anchor hole.

  1. What do I do if my display scratches?

A medium-coarse scouring pad can be used for minor scratches. Make sure to buff the scratch in the direction of the grain. Rubbing against the grain will cause noticeable damage in proportion to the pressure and duration of the buffing, so buff with the grain. Major scratches however, need an industrial solution. We offer to fix major scratches for you free of charge, you just pay shipping and handling fees.

  1. What if my display gets dirty?

Standard coated steel cleaners work well. Paper towels can work better, as cotton can leave residues and pieces of cotton behind. Also, remember to spray your paper paper towel rather than the display to avoid leaving excess spray residues.

  1. What do we mean by "In Stock" ?

"In Stock" simply means that we likely have the item in our warehouse already.
