Displaying your medals

[Herding_Cats]

I currently have my medals on two black generic medal holders I got from Amazon. But at the marathon weekend expo I picked up the runDisney medal holder, so I told my husband he has to hang that for me. I'll keep that one for the "special" medals like the marathon and challenges.

We bought DD that rundisney medal holder too. Muahahahahhahahaaaaaaaaa

Disney on this holder and have a second ordered. Disney will fill up a medal rack fast! I debated storing the challenge medals but I really like the majority of them.

I have an alternate medal holder for the non-Disney races.

So far, we have been getting a shadow box from Micheal’s for each race weekend, taping both of our bibs against the back, then hanging one set of our medals. But now wondering how many we will end up having. Now two race weekends behind.

Interesting idea, the race creator embedded magnets into a piece of plywood and painted it as a backdrop to attach the medals as you earned them. Kind of fun display, it was a great time running a virtual race with some other DIS members.

A couple of months ago—yes, really—I got a bent piece of metal in the mail that turned out to be one of the sections I guess I had run. It was so random, after all this time, and the medal looked liked it had been shaped over the barrel of a bat, it was so curved.
