Swim-bike-run rotors
The triathlon classic — three discipline icons cycling through the window as the center spins.
CUSTOM RACE MEDALS
Custom Spinner Medals
A center disc that rotates inside the medal — the most-requested specialty build.
A spinner medal has a second casting mounted on a pin inside the main ring, so the center spins freely — a mile marker, mascot, logo, or swim-bike-run icons rotating inside the frame. It is the specialty build finishers demo for everyone at brunch, and the single most-requested upgrade across every race type we serve.
Spinners price like a standard medal of the same size plus $0.50 per unit for the mechanism, and add about a week of production. The motion earns it: race directors tell us spinner years outperform static years in social posts of the medal alone.

VOLUME PRICING
Spinner Medals pricing
Per-unit pricing for our standard spec. Proofs and two edit rounds are included at every tier.
| Quantity | Price per unit |
|---|---|
| 100–249 | $3.00 |
| 250–499 | $2.65 |
| 500–999 | $2.35 |
| 1,000+ | $2.05 |
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
How races use spinner medals
Compass spinners
A needle that actually swings inside a compass-face medal — perfect for trail and adventure races.
Mascot on the move
Your race mascot running in place as the disc turns. Kids races cannot keep these on the table.
Year-plate rotors
Series races swap only the spinning year plate each edition — one outer mold, fresh center annually.
Spinner Medals questions
How much extra do spinner medals cost?
$0.50 per medal over a same-size static design, plus the standard one-time mold fee ($100). At 100 units a 3-inch spinner lands at $3.00 each; at 1,000+ it drops to $2.05.
Do spinners break or jam?
The disc rides a riveted pin, not a bearing, so there is nothing to seize. We spec the pin gauge to the disc weight, and our replacement rate on spinners is under half a percent.
How much design fits on the spinning part?
Both faces of the disc cast and fill like a normal medal, so you get two extra art surfaces. Bold shapes read best in motion — we advise at the free proof stage.
