5k’s are 3.1 mile runs/walks that occur throughout the year. Often times the run/walk is not only a competition, but a way to raise money and awareness for a certain cause. Whether it’s for breast cancer research, diabetes or to honor a holiday, 5k’s are becoming more and more popular.
The medal you see here was handed out to participants who ran/walked the NRSP Foundations Thanksgiving Day race a few weeks ago. Often with races like this, we make a portion of the medals gold, some silver, and some copper. This is a cost effective way to distinguish different groups of runners. Because the mold stays the same, there is no charge to make the different plating colors.
Challenge Coins Can Be Modified Into Custom Medals
Our challenge coins are very versatile. Not only can they stand alone as challenge coins but with a few minor modifications, they can be turned into a medal for your next 5k. All we have to do is add a loop at the top of your medal and a ribbon and you are all set. Your custom products are made in a way that reflects the time, effort, and skill of the men and women who choose to participate in your special event.
Ribbons Make It Possible to Wear and Display Medals
With each medal comes a nice, wide ribbon that easily allows the wearer to display their medal around their neck. This also makes it possible to hang the prize in a glass case or on a wall where everyone can see it. Custom medals have higher perceived value than other types of prizes and that’s why they are something people to choose to hang onto.
