How to be Creative with Medal Displays from Gone For A Run

If you read our blog regularly, than you know that we like to display the medals we've earned. What's even more fun is when we can do it creatively.   Do you remember the photo medal display that I made for my sister a while back?  I was starting to run out of room on my own medal display, so I was considering making one of those for myself because I really wanted to be able to display some of our fun race pictures along with the medals.

But then, the nice people at Gone For A Run,  that company that sells all sorts of really cool products for runners, asked me if I would be willing to review one of their products.  I was thrilled when I received this Magical Miles medal display, and let me tell you why!

1. It's Disney themed, enough said. ( If Disney's not your thing, there are a ton of other themes to choose from)

2. Very durable! Some medal displays are not as durable. My mother has a display and as of right now she can only display her Disney 5K medals on it because hanging more than 2 "medal" ones on it starts to bend it. That is certainly not the case with this one. I have 7 medals on in it in this picture but I could actually fit a few more on!



3. This great latch allows you to smoothly slide your medals on and off the rod. Once it is snapped into place, your medals are secure and will not fall off.


5. Probably my favorite part about this display is that it allows me to put my own pictures in it. This is of course something that I discovered on my own!  The Magical Miles panel actually slides out from the top. Since there is an opening to slide it out, I can of course slide other images in. That panel is the same size as two 4x6 photographs. There is enough room that I can keep the Magical Miles panel in AND slide my photographs in right in front of it.

Chances are I'm not ever going to find a display large enough to hold all my medals, so I will always need more than one way of displaying them. So say I want to keep all my Disney medals on one display and all my "beach" medals on another display. I just change the picture on the front of the display and Ta Da! I am done!  I love how versatile this is!

Gone For a Run has a ton of other Medal displays that you will fall in love with.  They even have many that they will personalize for you!  Wouldn't that be cool to have you name or your favorite saying on your medal display?  If you are looking for a way to display your medals, you should definitely go check them out.


If you ordered a display from Gone For A Run, what would you want it to say, or what pictures would you use on it?

* I received this medal display from Gone For a Run at no cost to me, but I truly do love this product and all opinions expressed here are mine!

  2. I love this, especially since you can include photos in it. I have a Gone For A Run gift certificate burning a hole in my inbox...maybe I need to get myself a medal display with it!

    1. O yes, That would be a great use of your certificate, seeing that you've been accumulating some new medals lately!

    1. I'm pretty sure the medal display was not made with the intentions of sliding photographs in it, but it works!

  4. Cool product! I would love to get a medal display that also holds bib numbers. I have ran 5 races and only 1 has given out a medal {my first half!}. But I love collecting my bibs. They hold much more meaning for me, personally!
    Glad you found a cool product that holds a bunch of medals :)

  5. This looks great! I love the personalized display and especially the fact that it is so sturdy. I've seen these displays before and had been wondering about how well put together they were.

    1. Most of the displays are great for the average race medal but once in a while ( if we are lucky). we get some medals that are pretty heavy ( as far as medals go). This one will work out great for them!

  6. That's a fun display. I'm happy with my display now, but I think it'll only take two more medals. I like the idea of pictures above the medals since I have some finish line pictures.

    1. Aww, I bet if I showed a picture of the complete rack you would see a lot of similar medals! I think we've been to many of the same races without knowing it at one point or another!
