CUSTOM RACE MEDALS
Custom 10K Race Medals
Classic die-cast rounds with room for your course map on the back.
The 10K is the distance where casual runners become racers, and the medal should mark that step up. Our 10K line uses larger castings than our 5K medals, with enough face area for detailed course art, skyline reliefs, or a route map engraved on the back.
Most 10K directors pair a classic round or shield shape with antique gold plating and a sublimated ribbon carrying sponsor logos — a professional package that still lands near $1.55 per finisher at volume.
- Typical size
- 3–3.5 in (76–89 mm)
- Thickness
- 3.5 mm die-cast zinc alloy
- Finishes
- All 11 platings — mirror to antique — plus enamel and epoxy fills
- Back side

VOLUME PRICING
10K pricing
Per-unit pricing for our standard spec. Proofs and two edit rounds are included at every tier.
| Quantity | Price per unit |
|---|---|
| 100–249 | $2.50 |
| 250–499 | $2.15 |
| 500–999 | $1.85 |
| 1,000+ | $1.55 |
Options beyond the standard spec are itemized in your quote — and we beat any written competitor quote by up to 10%. See the full race medal pricing guide.
Pricing is by size, not by sport: a 3-inch medal runs about $2.50 each at 100 units for any race — larger sizes slightly more, smaller sizes less, and same-size medals start at the same price. Design and proofs are quoted with your order. New designs carry a one-time mold fee (generally around $100, depending on size); reorders of the same design never pay it again. Specialty builds — spinners, moving parts, oversized cutouts — can add to the per-medal cost.
DESIGN IDEAS
What 10k directors are ordering
Landmark reliefs
The bridge, the courthouse, the water tower — 3D relief of the landmark your course is known for.
Anniversary editions
Year-stamped ribbons with an evergreen medal design keep leftovers usable and mark milestone editions.
Sponsor real estate
Sublimated ribbons carry full-color sponsor logos without crowding the medal face.
10K questions
What size should a 10K medal be?
Most 10K medals run 3 to 3.5 inches — noticeably bigger than a typical 5K medal, smaller than a marathon statement piece. That size fits detailed art while keeping per-unit cost near $1.55 at volume.
Can the same design work for our 5K/10K combo event?
Yes — the most common approach is one shared design with distance-specific ribbons or a distance plate, which keeps mold costs down. We can quote both variants in one proof.
Is back-side engraving really free?
Yes. Laser engraving on the reverse — course maps, event dates, or a finisher message — is included in the per-medal price on the 10K line.
