Custom Virtual Running Medals for Events | Durable & Unique Designs

Virtual running medals are awards sent to participants who complete a running event remotely, where the race is done independently (anytime, anywhere) rather than in a physical gathering, and are designed to bridge the gap between virtual participation and tangible recognition. These medals feature digital or virtual-themed elements—e.g., pixel art, “online” icons, or the phrase “Virtual Finisher”—alongside traditional running imagery like shoes or finish lines, blending the virtual and physical worlds. Materials are lightweight and mail-friendly (zinc alloy with thin plating) to reduce shipping costs, with durable packaging to ensure they arrive intact. Designs often match the virtual event’s theme, whether it’s a charity run, a themed challenge (e.g., “Space Race”), or a global virtual marathon. Recipients typically submit proof of completion (GPS data, photos) to receive the medal, which serves as a physical reminder of their achievement in a non-traditional format. Virtual running medals have grown in popularity with the rise of remote events, allowing runners to participate from anywhere, connect with a global community, and still earn a tangible reward, making them a key part of modern running culture.
