How to display your marathon medals with style
You've just crossed the finish line of your first marathon. Medal around your neck, legs on fire, eyes shining. It's a moment you'll never forget. But once you get home, what do you do with that medal?
For many runners, the answer is disappointing: it lands in a drawer with all the others. And that's a shame. Here's how to display your marathon medals with style and turn them into true wall décor.
Option 1: the dedicated wall hanger
The Finisherzone Records Board is the perfect example: fine wood, minimalist design, and room for dozens of medals. It lets you hang medals by their ribbon and display your bibs too.
Option 2: modular hexagonal displays
For runners with many medals, wooden hexagonal displays let you create a unique wall composition that you enrich race after race.
Option 3: the display case or frame
For your most precious medals (your first marathon, a World Major…), a display case can be a beautiful option, with the race photo and the bib.
Our tips for a beautiful medal wall

Your medal wall will become your best source of motivation. Every morning you'll see it and remember what you're capable of.
