You've run your first 10k, strung together half-marathons, or crossed the
finish line of an Ironman. The result: medals piling up in a drawer,
a shoebox, or worse, at the bottom of a cardboard box. Yet each one
represents weeks of training, sacrifice, and self-transcendence.
Here are 5 ways to give them the place they deserve.
---
1. Store them in a keepsake box
The most basic solution. A wooden or metal box allows you to gather
your medals so they don't lie around everywhere. Practical, but they remain
hidden. Not really fitting for achievements that deserve better.
2. Hang them on a hanger or rod
A DIY solution that many runners adopt at first. Functional,
inexpensive, but aesthetically limited. Difficult to integrate into a
carefully designed decor.
3. Frame them
For the most symbolic medals — first marathon, first Ironman —
a photo frame can do the trick. Ideal for 1 or 2 medals, but
impossible to scale as the collection grows.
4. Create a trophy wall
Increasingly popular among endurance athletes, the trophy wall
consists of dedicating an entire space to one's achievements: medals, bibs, race
photos. A visible source of motivation daily, reminding one of the journey
made and inspiring to go further.
5. Use a wooden medal display hanger
This is the most elegant and practical solution. A solid wood running medal
hanger, handcrafted, allows you to display your entire
collection in an organized and decorative way. The Finisher Wall by FinisherDisplay
is specifically designed for runners and triathletes: it holds up to
30 medals, several bibs, and includes a natural slate to record
your personal bests or next goals. Made in France, available in three
wood finishes.
For collectors who have been doing many races for several years,
the XL version holds up to 60 medals.

Your medals tell a story. They deserve better than a drawer.
Whether you're a runner, triathlete, or trail runner, displaying your medals also
reminds you why you lace up your running shoes every morning.
