Custom Half Marathon Medals & 21K Finisher Medals
A half marathon medal represents a significant achievement. At 21.0975 kilometers, the distance deserves a high-quality finisher medal that runners will proudly display. Sino Awards produces custom half marathon medals with durable construction, detailed artwork, and custom ribbons for road races around the world.
Whether you are organizing a first-year half marathon or an established annual race, we provide factory-direct pricing, free digital proofs, and reliable global shipping from our manufacturing facility in Dongguan, China.
Half Marathon Medal Design
Half marathon medals often use premium finishes such as antique gold, antique silver, or dual plating. Designs may feature the event logo, city skyline, landmark, date, and 21K or 13.1-mile marking. Many events choose 2.5 to 3 inch sizes to emphasize the accomplishment. Custom shapes such as shields, stars, or city-specific outlines add personality to the design.
Premium Finishing Options
Consider 3D relief, cut-out elements, glitter enamel, translucent color, or dual plating to make the medal stand out. A matching ribbon with the event name and sponsor logos completes the package. See our special effects options for more ways to create a memorable 21K finisher medal.
Materials and Construction
Half marathon medals are typically made from zinc alloy or brass. Zinc alloy allows for detailed 3D designs at a moderate price. Brass adds weight and a premium feel, making it a popular choice for anniversary races and championship events. Iron is available for budget-conscious large fields. Finishes include shiny gold, shiny silver, shiny bronze, antique finishes, and black nickel.
