How many medals can a medal holder hold?
When you start running, one question quickly comes up:
👉 how many medals can a medal holder hold?
Because one thing is certain:
medals accumulate… often faster than expected.
10 medals: beginning of the journey
A small holder can be enough if you:
- are starting to run
- participate in a few races per year
👉 But beware: this capacity is quickly limited.
30 medals: regular practice
This is the most versatile format.
Suitable if you:
- run several races per year
- already have a few years of practice
👉 It's often the best compromise.
60 medals: enthusiast / triathlete
If you're chaining races:
- marathons
- trails
- triathlons
👉 A large format becomes essential.
The trap: underestimating your progress
Many runners choose a small holder at first.
Result:
- holder fills up too quickly
- obligation to buy another one
- loss of visual coherence
👉 You pay twice.
The right approach
👉 Always anticipate.
Ask yourself this question:
How many races will I do in the coming years?
If you are consistent:
- aim directly for 30 or 60 medals
Why capacity changes everything
A suitable holder allows you to:
- not be limited
- maintain a clean appearance
- avoid accumulating multiple holders
👉 A single, well-sized holder is enough.
Conclusion
A medal holder should support your progress, not limit it.
👉 Don't choose for today.
👉 Choose for the years to come.
