Marathon running medals are specialized awards for participants in marathon races (26.2 miles/42.195 km), recognizing both completion and competitive performance in one of the most demanding running events. These medals are larger and more substantial than shorter-distance running medals, reflecting the marathon’s rigor, with designs that often feature the distance (“26.2”), marathon-specific imagery (e.g., runners enduring the final miles, iconic marathon landmarks like Boston’s Heartbreak Hill), or the host city’s skyline. Materials range from zinc alloy with gold/silver/bronze plating for finishers to brass or copper with 3D elements for elite runners, with finishes that resist tarnishing to preserve the medal’s appearance over time. Marathon running medals often include unique touches: some change design yearly (encouraging collection), others have detachable charms for each mile, or glow-in-the-dark elements for night marathons. Engravings include the runner’s name (for custom options), event name, and date, with competitive medals adding finish times or rankings. These medals are cherished as symbols of the months of training, mental toughness, and physical endurance required to complete a marathon, making them among the most valued in a runner’s collection.
