I Crossed The Line Medal Hanger

The last thirty metres are the part people remember

Not the training, not the middle, not the bit where it went wrong at 30 km. The line. Everyone who has finished anything has a clear picture of their own, and it is usually the photograph they keep.

This is the display for the medals attached to those pictures. Stainless steel, cut in one piece, with the mounting kit included so it goes up in about ten minutes rather than becoming a weekend job.

Race photographers sell finish-line pictures; this is the object those pictures usually end up next to. Worth mounting somewhere with wall space around it.

The same medal display is cut in several widths. Buying as a gift? Count what is already in the drawer and go one size up.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Count what is in the drawer, add the next three years of racing, and buy that width.

Why stainless steel, not painted sheet metal

The medal hanger is cut from AISI 304 stainless steel (V2A / 1.4301), 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Not painted sheet metal that chips at the first knock.

And it holds a continuous rail, not hooks. Twelve hooks means twelve medals. A rail holds as many as fit.

Putting it up

The standoffs hold it a centimetre off the wall, which is what gives the shadow line. Template, screws and plugs are included; you need a drill and ten minutes.

After the first one is full

They're made to pair. A second unit sits flush against the first and the run reads as a single display. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.
