I Love Medals Medal Hanger

Honest about why people enter races

Plenty of runners will tell you it is about health, or headspace, or the club. Some of them will also admit, given a drink, that they picked the September half specifically because of what the medal looked like.

There is nothing wrong with that and this display says so out loud. It suits a collection built more for enjoyment than for times — which, judging by what people actually hang up, is most of them.

Collections built for enjoyment tend to be broader than serious ones — themed runs, charity events, holiday 10 kms, the occasional medal from something barely athletic.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Fun collections grow faster than goal-driven ones. Whatever you counted, add a year.

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.

Installation

Supplied with everything needed except a drill: standoffs, fixings and a full-size paper template. The standoffs set it off the wall slightly, which is what makes the shadow underneath.

Once there is no space left

The proportions are drawn so that two units stacked or lined up look like one piece of furniture rather than an afterthought. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

Dispatch & returns

Cut to order in the EU and out of the workshop within 3–5 working days. If it is not what you expected, you have fourteen days to send it back.
