2022 Running Imp Brochure - Platinum Jubilee Edition

Supplying events worldwide since 1988

After almost 34 years at the helm since founding Running Imp in January 1988, I decided that it was time to hand over the ‘baton’ to my son Josh (who in essence has been running the company for the last 2 years anyway), to lead and take us forward onto the next chapter of Running Imp.

So, on 22nd September (2021), with champagne glasses raised, we toasted Josh as he assumed the role of the new CEO of Running Imp with myself now moving away from the day-to-day operations to the role of Chairman. Congratulations Josh!

After the uncertainty that Covid-19 brought in 2020, 2021 saw us slowly but surely re-building the company. Unfortunately, many businesses in our field fell by the wayside, but due to the dedication, hard work and commitment of our staff, we survived, and grew stronger together as a team.

As the multitude of fun runs, road races and mass participation events gradually started to return, it was also nice to see the resurgence of triathlons, swimming events and school sports days to once again put a smile back on people’s faces. Let’s hope that this trend will continue.

2022 also marks the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty The Queen’s Accession to the throne. To celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we will be offering a wide selection of commemorative products to mark this historic occasion as she becomes the first British Monarch to achieve this noble milestone. See our website for further details.

I would sincerely like to thank all of our customers, both old and new, for their continued support. Stay safe, everyone, and have a healthy, happy and successful year.

Now, 10 years on, every school, village, town and city across the United Kingdom will be celebrating The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

You can commemorate this memorable and truly once-in-a-lifetime event with your own personalised souvenirs, and celebrate in style with our wide selection of Union Jack bunting, flags, hats and party products.

Whether you’re a school, club, event, council or society, everyone who receives one of our prestigious commemorative products depicting the Official Queen’s Platinum Jubilee emblem will have a lasting memento of this historic occasion.

About The Official Emblem be

In a competition run by the V&A in conjunction with Buckingham Palace, aspiring artists and illustrators between the ages of 13 and 25 were invited to create an original design to symbolise The Queen’s historic seventy years as Sovereign.

The winning entry was by Edward Roberts, from Nottinghamshire, a 19-year-old graphic design student at the University of Leeds.

On winning The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Emblem competition, Edward said: “Art and Design have always been passions of mine from a young age. Looking forward, I hope to make a career out of them. I never expected to win the competition and it’s an honour to have done so.”

“For my design, I wanted to give a modern twist to the iconic elements of St Edward’s Crown, and so I created a continuous line, which I felt was a fitting representation of The Queen’s reign.” Congratulations Edward.

Where are the medals manufactured?

All our bespoke medals are manufactured in our partner factories in China, for the very best quality at effectively wholesale prices.

How long will you need to produce my medals?

Once you have approved and ‘signed-off’ your medal artwork, if we use sea freight to transport your medals from China to the UK (the most economical), it will take up to 18 weeks, although depending on the time of year, this can be expedited.

I have heard that the medals can be produced and delivered in only 3-4 weeks, is that correct?

Yes, they can. Once you have ‘signed-off’ the artwork and approved your design it can take only 3-4 weeks to produce and deliver your medals if we use air freight.

Is there a surcharge for the medals to be flown in?

Yes there is a small surcharge which depends on the size of medals and quantity. We will give you an exact quotation at the time of ordering if you require this express delivery service.

Does the 4 or 18 week production lead time include delivery to me?

Yes.

What if I receive more entries than anticipated, can I order a ‘last minute top-up’ to my medal order?

Yes. We can produce a ‘top-up’ to your order within a lead time of 2-3 weeks.

Medal Design

If I only have a rough sketch of my medal design, is that alright?

Yes. Simply send us your guidelines with any logos (if any) you want incorporating, and we will design your medal for you FREE of Charge

I understand that you have different background stipple effects that I can incorporate into my design?

Yes. We have a variety of background stipple effects that can be incorporated into your design (see page 101). Simply quote the stipple effect number(s) or contact us for a FREE sample to help you choose.

How long will it take for me to receive artwork back from you for approval?

Once you have accepted our quotation, we will then proceed with your medal design which you should normally receive within 3 to 4 working days, or even less.

When I have received my medal design back for approval, what if I require changes?

No problem, we will amend your design until you are completely happy with it!

Will there be any charge for these amendments?

Die Charges

How many dies I will be charged for?

You will only be charged a die for each side that has a design.

What if exactly the same design is on both sides of the medal?

You will be charged for 2 dies.

What if my design has ‘cut-outs’? You will only be charged for one die if the reverse of your medal is plain.

Optional Extras

A

We offer up to 3 opportunities for unlimited amendments at no additional cost. Any changes thereafter may incur a design surcharge of £50.

Are there any optional extras available for medals?

Yes. We have a variety shown at the top of this page.

Will there be any extra charge for this? No.

What Medal Finishes are available?

If I have a specific request that is not shown, will you be able to fulfil it?

How do I work out my medal price?

All prices shown are based on 3mm thick medals. For example, if your design is 50mm in diameter or 50mm to its longest point look in the 50mm column prices etc.

Bespoke Hinged Medals

Do you want a bespoke medal with a difference? Then a medal incorporating ‘hinges’ into your design could be just what you are looking for, and ideal if you want to add an element of ‘surprise’ to your finisher’s medal.

Both unique and eye-catching, we have produced medals that incorporate a door panel that opens to reveal a mirror, and even an escape cage that depicts freedom when the cage doors are opened. With the Mayflower 400, when opened, it shows the route of the half marathon and about the history of the Mayflower which set sail from Plymouth on the 16th September 1620 which after a very rough voyage across the Atlantic, finally made it to what is now known as ‘Cape Cod’ in Massachusetts in November 1620.

Bespoke Magnetic Medals

If you like to display your medals and are looking for something a little different, then a bespoke ‘magnetic’ medal might be the answer. These are becoming very popular as medal designs become more creative.

Single Magnet Medals

These are a one-piece medal with a single magnet on its reverse. Ideal for displaying your hard-earned reward on any metal surface like a fridge door.

Double Magnet Medals

The ultimate in bespoke magnetic medals. These are essentially two medals where one has a magnet on the front and the other on its reverse that allows the 2 designs to attach together (see below).

Magnets

Bespoke Magnetic Interlocking Medals

From These To This

Five separate event medals plus a sixth central magnetic ‘Rose’ medal for completing all five events.

We can also produce ‘magnetic interlocking’ medals and even engrave on the magnets themselves (see below). By entering and completing all the events the medals make superb interlocking mementoes.

Bespoke Spinning Medals

For another bespoke medal with a difference, why not go for a ‘spinning’ medal? You can have a small, large, or multiple sections of the medal that can spin.

With the Interstellar Run, one side shows the rocket taking off from earth, and when spun around shows it landed on the moon. You can even have where the whole ‘back’ of the medal spins, as in the S.F. Experience Fan Dance Medal. Here, the ‘back’ spins to show the design go from sunshine to an ‘eclipse’. Or you can have a part added onto your medal that can spin, like the propeller on the Elvington Flyer medal. The possibilities are endless.

These ‘spinning’ medals are very eye-catching and popular, and can be incorporated into most of our bespoke styles of medals.

Bespoke Two-Piece Click Together Medals

Bespoke Pin Badge & Bottle Opener Medals.

Bespoke Pin Badge Medals

For another finisher’s medal with a difference, our ‘pin badge’ medals might be just what you are looking for, especially if you are holding a number of different events on the day.

For example, if you are holding a fun run, 10k and a half marathon, you could have a bespoke medal that shows your overall event logo, but allows a pin badge that depicts which event you took part in to be pinned onto it, and this could be incorporated into your design.

So, when ordering, you would order main medals for the total number of competitors in all 3 events, and then the respective number of pin badges for entries into each event.

Alternatively, it could be something that is simply added onto your medal as we did for Phoenix Running. Here we produced their Hop-a-thon medals which were based on a chocolate bar that had the frog’s face to look like chocolate that could be pinned on to it.

Which afterwards, if you wished, you could just wear the pin badge on its own to show off your achievement.

With a minimum order of only 100, these eye-catching pin badge medals are different, unique and the permutations are endless; the only limit is your imagination

Bespoke Bottle Opener Medals

If you are looking for a bespoke medal with a practical difference, why not incorporate a ‘bottle opener’ into your medal’s design. With many events these days rewarding their finishers with a bottle of beer as well as a medal, these will make a unique and lasting reminder of your event.

Available non-enamelled or with partial or full enamelling, they can depict your event logo or even club badge. Very eye-catching.

Hints & Tips When Organising a Colour Run

Colour Runs, Colour Dashes or Rainbow Runs, as they are sometimes called, are held over distances of approximately 5K, although they can be over any distance as accuracy is not important as they tend to be non-competitive.

They are becoming increasingly popular and a fun event for all the family to take part in, as well as a great way to help raise vital funds for charities.

So, if you are thinking of staging a Colour Run for the first time and are unsure of how many colour stations to have and how much colour powder to order, we have drawn up a simple step-by-step visual guide with suggestions that will hopefully help you along the way.

However, if you are still unsure or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us - we will be more than happy to help out.

Is the colour powder safe?

Our product is Non-Toxic and Non-Irritant to skin and conforms to EN-71-3 Standards for a safe and fun event.

What if it gets in my eyes?

Just rinse with water and everything will be ok as our powder is non-toxic but for added eye protection we recommend wearing a pair of our sunglasses.

Is the colour powder edible?

Yes it is. It is 100% safe to ingest but we advise you to wear it, not eat it!

Personal clean up operation

To get the colour powder out of hair and off skin it is best to do it whilst it is still dry. Shake it off first then just wash as normal and maybe repeat.

up operation

Rain should wash away the colour powder from either the grass, pavements or roads or you can use a hose or leaf blower.
