A cliché until the race where you nearly stopped

Three words that mean nothing on a poster and quite a lot at 32 km, when the plan has fallen apart and the only remaining question is whether you walk to the finish or get in the car. Everyone who has run long enough has that race, and it is usually not the fast one they remember.

The phrase earns its place above a collection because the collection is the evidence. Cut from AISI 304 stainless steel in four widths, with a rail rather than hooks.

This is one of the designs the configurator can personalise with a name or a date, which turns a stock phrase into something specific to one person's year.

These are the sizes available. If it is a present and you are guessing, guess upwards — a display that is slightly too big still looks right.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Count the medals in the drawer, add two years of racing at the current rate, and buy for that number.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Fitting it to the wall

Comes with stainless standoffs, fixings and a paper drilling template. On plasterboard use proper anchors rather than the plugs supplied — a full display is heavier than it looks.

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.
