Bespoke Recycled Metal Medals for Connemara International Marathon
Proud to Support Irish Running Events with Bespoke Marathon Medals
Swift Event Supplies is proud to have manufactured the official Connemara International Marathon medals for 2026 — bespoke marathon medals crafted from recycled metal and engineered to reflect one of Ireland’s most iconic endurance events.
For more than 10 years, we have partnered with Proactive and Race Director Ray O’Connor to produce bespoke medals for events including Run Galway Bay, combining sustainable materials with premium 3D die-cast detailing.
Custom Marathon Medals Made from Recycled Zinc Alloy
Sustainability is no longer optional in the events industry. That’s why these medals are produced using recycled zinc alloy, reducing environmental impact while maintaining the strength and weight expected from a premium die-cast medal.
Key features include:
- Recycled zinc alloy construction
- Antique silver finish
- Raised 3D mountain relief design
- Bold sculpted 21K, 42K and 63K lettering
- Precision die-cast detailing
- Colour-coded woven event full sublimation printed ribbons
The layered mountain relief design reflects the rugged Connemara terrain, giving runners a medal that feels authentic, durable, and meaningful.
Why Recycled Metal Medals Are the Future of Sustainable Events
Event organisers are increasingly seeking sustainable medal solutions without compromising quality.
Recycled metal medals offer:
- Lower environmental footprint
- Reduced raw material extraction
- Long-lasting durability
- Premium aesthetic finishes
- Responsible sourcing credentials
By integrating recycled materials into die-cast production, we help race organisers align with sustainability goals while delivering a high-end finisher experience.
3D Die-Cast Bespoke Medal Manufacturing
Unlike flat stamped medals, these Connemara medals use precision die-casting to create depth, texture and sculpted detail.
The process ensures:
- Clean edge definition
- Consistent antique plating
- Structural integrity for large events
- Strong tactile weight
- Sharp, raised typography
When thousands of runners cross the finish line, the medal must reflect the prestige of the event. Craftsmanship matters.
