The Paris Marathon 2026 will take place on April 12th. Thousands of runners
will cross the finish line on the Champs-Élysées after 42.195 km
of effort, emotion, and self-transcendence. And as after every
race, a question quickly arises: what do we do with this
medal?

A medal that deserves more than a drawer
The Paris Marathon medal is one of the most beautiful in the world
circuit. Its design changes every year, making it a collector's item.
Leaving it in a drawer or on a hanger would be a shame —
especially after months of preparation.
Here are the best ways to showcase it.
---
1. Frame it alone
For runners completing their first marathon, framing the medal
with the bib and a finish line photo is a symbolic option.
Simple, effective for a single medal. But quickly limited as
the collection begins to grow.
---
2. Place it on your desk
Minimalist option. The medal sits on the desk as a source of
daily motivation. Practical for one or two medals, less
elegant when they accumulate.
---
3. Create a finisher wall
The preferred solution for runners who frequently race. A dedicated space
in the house where each medal tells a story: the Paris Marathon,
a half marathon in the provinces, a first trail run, an Ironman. A wall that
grows with achievements.

4. Use a wooden medal display hanger
This is the most elegant solution to display your collection in an
organized and decorative way. The Finisher Wall by FinisherDisplay is handcrafted
in France, from solid wood and natural slate. It holds
up to 30 medals and several bibs, with a writing area to
note your times or next goals.
For runners who have been accumulating races for several years,
the XL version holds up to 60 medals.
An item that enhances the value of each medal — including that of the Paris Marathon
2026.

5. Offer a medal hanger to a finisher
Do you know someone running the Paris Marathon this year?
A handcrafted medal hanger is the ideal gift to offer after the race.
Original, useful, made in France — a far cry from generic gifts.

The Paris Marathon is a unique experience. The medal you receive
at the finish line deserves to be displayed, not forgotten. Whether it's your
first marathon or your tenth, each medal tells a part of
your sporting story.
It deserves a place on your wall.
