11 Jun Eco-Friendly Medals at Portumna Forest Marathon
Eco-friendly Medals FOR MASS participation and fundraising Events
The Portumna Forest Marathon is a special event that’s earned its reputation not only for its nature and challenging course but also for its commitment to sustainability. Held on 7th June 2025, this year’s event raised the bar yet again with a collaboration with Swift Event Suppllies, a leader in sustainable eco-friendly medals and race day event supplies. Together, they ensured that every aspect of the marathon reflected the values of eco-consciousness and quality.
From eco-friendly wooden race medals crafted with care to custom printed event t-shirts designed for practicality and sustainability, here’s how the Portumna Forest Marathon became a great example of how events can leave an impression while minimising their footprint.
Bespoke Sports Medals Made from sustainable Materials!
Taking part in the Portumna Forest Marathon is a one-of-a-kind experience. Surrounded by the tranquillity of Ireland’s woodlands, runners competed in 10K, 21K, 42K, and 50K events, testing their endurance against a stunning natural backdrop.

More Than Bespoke Medals
Swift Event Supplies didn’t stop at medals. They also provided reusable event t-shirts, aligning perfectly with the event’s eco-conscious mission. Not only do these t-shirts reduce waste compared to disposable alternatives, but they’re also a practical memento for runners to treasure.
Swift Event Supplies Delivers Sustainability
This year, an integral part of the marathon’s green focus was Swift Event Supplies, whose expertise allowed the event to incorporate sustainable, eco-friendly event supplies aligning with the event brand.

Why Choose Wooden Medals?
The move towards wooden race medals is more than just a trend; it’s a statement of responsibility. Here’s what makes these medals a superior choice for events like the Portumna Forest Marathon:
- Sustainably Sourced
The wooden medals are crafted using Birchply, a sustainably sourced material that significantly reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional metal medals.
- Locally Manufactured
Swift Event Supplies manufactures these medals locally in Europe, minimising CO2 emissions by eliminating the need for overseas production and air freight from the Far East.
- Customisable and Unique
From shape and size to intricate laser-etched or UV printed details, every medal is designed to tell the story of the event it celebrates.
