Custom running and race medals die-cast from 100% recycled zinc alloy to your design. Any size, shape or finish, from 50 medals, with free design visuals.
Swift’s recycled metal medals are die-cast from 100% recycled zinc alloy to your own design, in any size, shape or thickness. They suit marathons, half marathons, 5Ks, ultras, triathlons and charity events. Orders start at 50 medals, prices start from £1.75 per medal including a recycled satin ribbon, and air freight takes 4–6 weeks from artwork sign-off.
Every medal is made to order from your artwork. Mix antique, polished and colour finishes on one medal, or go for a statement shape that finishers will want to show off.
Sculpted detail in antique gold, silver or bronze, with enamel colour fill to make your logo or distance stand out. Colour enamel costs £0.05 per colour, per medal.
Gold, silver and bronze plating from one design, for championships, age groups and category winners. Ordered together and delivered together.
Open cut-outs, spinners, layered rings and custom outlines for ultras and bucket-list events. A cut-out shape adds £30 to the mould cost.

CASE STUDY
Three recycled metal medals, one for each distance: 21K, 42K and the 63K ultra. Each was die-cast in recycled zinc alloy with an antique silver finish, for one of Ireland's best-known endurance events.
Our recycled metal medals start at £3.10 each for 50 medals and drop to £1.75 each for 500 or more (50 mm, ex VAT, including a full-colour recycled satin ribbon, air freight). There is a one-off mould charge from £150 per design. Truck and sea freight cost less if you can order earlier.
The minimum order is 50 medals per design, so they suit club races and small charity events as well as large mass participation events. Prices drop at 100, 250 and 500 medals.
By air freight, allow 4–6 weeks from artwork sign-off. Truck freight takes 8–10 weeks and sea freight 12–15+ weeks, both at a lower price. For spring races, signing off in autumn lets you use sea freight for the best price.
Each medal is die-cast from 100% recycled zinc alloy, the same metal and process used for standard medals. You get the same weight, detail and finishes, including antique and polished gold, silver and bronze, colour enamel and 3D relief. With a recycled RPET ribbon and plastic-free packaging as standard, they’re an eco-friendly choice you can back up with facts.
Choose recycled metal for a heavyweight finisher medal for marathons, ultras and triathlons. Choose eco wooden medals if you need them sooner or with no mould fee: they’re made in the UK in 4–6 weeks, with a £40 set-up per design, and we plant a tree for every wooden medal order.
