Triathlon medals are heavier than they look

A full-distance finisher medal can weigh a quarter of a kilo, and a rack of them puts real load on the wall. This is one of the few places where the difference between 2.5 mm and 3 mm steel stops being a specification and starts being the reason the display doesn't sag.

The 60 and 75 cm versions are cut from 3 mm for exactly this. If the collection includes Ironman or long-course medals, buy one of those two rather than the narrower ones.

Sprint and Olympic distance medals are ordinary in size, so a mixed collection sits fine on any of the widths. It's specifically the long-course hardware that changes the maths.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

If there's a full-distance medal in the collection, go to 60 or 75 cm — the 3 mm steel is there for a reason.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Mounting

Everything is in the box: stainless standoffs, screws, wall plugs and a paper template. Mark through the template, drill, done — about ten minutes.

Running out of room

Buy a second and line it up directly beneath or beside this one — the proportions are designed so a pair looks intentional. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

Getting it to you

This medal holder is made to order in the EU and on its way within 3–5 working days, with fourteen days to send it back if it isn't right.
