The Ultimate Guide To Bespoke Medals, Coins & Key Rings 2023

Welcome, How to Contact Us & Order

Welcome to our 2023 Ultimate Guide to Bespoke Medals, ‘Coins’ & Key Rings

After the uncertainty that Covid-19 brought in 2020, decimating our industry, it was great to see a multitude of fun runs, road races and mass participation events gradually starting to return last year.

We also saw the resurgence of triathlons, swimming events and school sports days making a much-welcomed comeback. Let’s hope that this trend will continue during 2023.

January 2023 will also mark 35 years since I cofounded the business in 1988. Little did I imagine that it would have grown into the family business that it has today.

As more and more products have been added to our range, this year I have divided our services into 9 ‘Ultimate Guides’ to make it easier and quicker to navigate – I hope you like what you see. For the last 16 years Running Imp and Events FR have competed against one another as two of the top companies in the industry. But now, with Neil Landry wishing to retire from the industry it made

Ordering couldn’t be

perfect sense for Running Imp to acquire Events FR. Therefore, as of 1st October 2022, Running Imp Ltd acquired Events FR in a major acquisition, and we will continue to work very closely with Neil over the next year to ensure a seamless and successful transition.

Neil said, “We could not be more delighted with the outcome and recommend highly that all our customers give Chris and Josh, the owners and Directors of Running Imp, the opportunity to give the kind of service that we have always prided ourselves upon.’’

Finally, I would sincerely like to thank all our customers and offer a special warm welcome to prospective new ones, and wish you a healthy, happy, and successful year.

Chris Illsley BEM Chairman Running Imp & Bespoke Medals & Pin Badges

Why Work With Us?

Why Choose Us?

Our standard packaging for bespoke medals and pin badges is mainly plastic free, wrapped in tissue paper with our aim to reduce overall plastic use.

Our medals are master bagged and pin badges are individually poly bagged as standard.

We reuse packaging from our supply chain, including shredding cardboard to use as packaging in our warehouse.

Our packaging is sourced, manufactured, and recycled using renewable energy.

Sustainability

At Running Imp we care passionately about the environment and sustainability. We are addressing how we run our operations, supply chain, packaging materials, water, and energy use.

All our medals are made from environmentally friendly metals that are 95% recyclable and aim to be 100% recyclable by 2025. We also offer a recycling scheme for leftover medals after your event. They can be returned to us to be recycled with a metal recycling firm, European Metal Recycling Ltd, who we have a strong partnership

For a smaller footprint, we offer wooden medals that are made from FSC 100% sustainable wood and samples can be sent upon

Our ribbons are made with environmentally friendly non-toxic inks and we offer Recyclable Heat Transfer and Recyclable RPET Yarn

We’re also conscious of plastics, and are working on removing it from our products and offering alternatives that are made from recyclable material - such as our flag branding material and supplying wooden stakes instead of plastic stakes.

Why Work With Us?

At Running Imp we believe strongly in ethical principles and good stewardship. We are therefore proud to guarantee that we trade in accordance with the International Labour Organisation’s ETI Base Code & Independently audit our suppliers on an annual basis to ensure that:

• All employment is freely chosen

All audits are available on request, or alternatively visible through the Sedex Global platform.

Don’t take our word for it...

I have worked closely with Running Imp for several years on medal production for our portfolio of events. They have consistently provided high quality products on time alongside excellent customer service. This has been evident over the last two years throughout Covid-19 where they have shown flexibility and a true understanding of the dilemmas event organisers have faced.

LONDON MARATHON EVENTS

We have used Running Imp for 25 years for all our medal and trophy requirements, which is now approaching nearly half a million medals! The design, production and delivery process is easy and is to a exceptionally high standard. Customer care is at the heart of what they do and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

PANATHLON CHALLENGE

BTR has enjoyed a very long and successful working relationship with Running Imp dating back to 1994. They have provided a first class service at all times and I would recommend them to anyone looking for running event materials from high quality medals to simple course signage... and everything in between.

Frequently Asked Questions & How to Order

Medal Production

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 12). 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?

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

Medal Finishes

Can I mix the medal finish colours within my order (eg. Antique Gold, Silver, Bronze etc)? Yes.

Will there be any extra charge for this? No.

What Medal Finishes are available? We have a variety of medal finishes to choose from. See page 12 or contact us for a FREE swatch of sample finishes.

Prices

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.

How can I work out the price if my medals are an irregular shape?

Simply send us a diagram showing us the shape and size of your required medal and we will give you an exact quotation within 24 hours. Can medals be thicker than 3mm? Yes. We can produce medals in any thickness up to 20mm thick.

How will this affect my price?

Please contact us with your specific requirements and we will give you an exact quotation within 24 hours.

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.

FREE Design Service

Why not use our FREE Design Service. On acceptance of a quote, we will send you a design within 3 - 4 working days - and above all it’s FREE no matter what size your order! Simply send us your guidelines with any logos and we will do the rest.

Optional Extras

Are there any optional extras available for medals?

Yes. We have a variety shown on page 13.

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

In all probability yes. Remember, the only limit is your imagination.

How much do these optional extras cost? It very much depends on the quantity and on the optional extra. We will give you an exact quotation within 24 hours.

Josh Illsley CEO Running Imp, Neil Landry Events FR and Chris Illsley BEM Chairman Running Imp

On Thursday 20th October, The LincolnshireLive Business Awards, in partnership with the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, returned to the Lincolnshire Showground for the 18th year to toast success, celebrate achievement, and honour the innovative and resilient businesses doing great things in Lincolnshire. This year, we were incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for the two awards that we had entered for the prestigious awards ceremony: the ‘Family Business of the Year’, and Josh Illsley for the ‘Young Achiever of the Year’. However, whilst we didn’t win the ‘Family Business of the Year’, it was great to hear Josh’s name being read out as the winner of the ‘Young Achiever of the Year’. But there was a huge surprise in store for us, as we would still come away from the evening celebrating winning two awards!

Josh Illsley, Young Achiever of the Year

We were absolutely thrilled when it was announced that our CEO, Josh Illsley, had been awarded the ‘Young Achiever of the Year’.

Joining Running Imp Ltd, in 2016, Josh had reached the position of Operations Manager by 2019 - overseeing Running Imp’s team of 60+ people. This came not long before the start of the pandemic, during which Josh was responsible for helping Running Imp stay afloat.

During an exceedingly challenging period, Josh oversaw the restructuring of the business - figuring out where the business could cut costs and devising a new ‘virtual runs’ strategy that would bring in income while in-person events were postponed. Josh’s efforts undoubtedly helped Running Imp weather the storm and left us in a much stronger position for recovery when the pandemic ended.

The penultimate presentation on the night was a non-nomination category for the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’, which was decided solely by a panel of judges. As we sat and listened to the description of the achievements that the un-named recipient had accomplished, we soon realised that it was describing our Chairman Chris Illsley BEM, and when his name was finally announced as the winner, we were all speechless, especially Chris!

Chris Illsley BEM , Lifetime Achievement Award

The ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ recognises the outstanding management and leadership of an individual throughout their whole career. It recognises who has made a career-long contribution to not only the industry they work within, but to charities and organisations they have made huge impacts on too. Certainly, the notable achievements of our Chairman, Chris Illsley BEM were recognised by the panel, and from this they were able to reach their conclusion, to present him with the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’!

It was something special to see our Chairman, Chris Illsley BEM, being awarded the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for all his incredible work since founding Running Imp in 1988, and for his outstanding contributions in the community and services to charity in Lincolnshire. But to see Chris and Josh on different chapters in life making positive contributions is one thing, to see them both be given individual recognition on the same night was nothing short of extraordinary!

Congratulations to our Chairman, Chris Illsley BEM and our CEO, Josh Illsley!

Bespoke Pin Badge and Two-Piece Click Together 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.

A Great Trophy Alternative

Why not present the first 3 in each category a Gold, Silver and Bronze version of your Finishers’ Medal instead of a trophy?

Please note, if your Finishers’ Medals are all Antique Gold, you can have the Gold Medals in a Matt Gold finish. There would be no additional die charge for these as you would be using your existing die.

And if you are looking for something completely different...

Many of our 51 different Bespoke Medal styles can be amalgamated together. However, if you have a medal design that is totally different and unique, in a style or feature that we haven’t shown, please get in touch with us as we will probably be able to fulfil your request. The only limit is your imagination. Here are some examples that our customers have asked us to do.

On Friday 27th September 2019 after almost two years in the writing, ‘All or Nothing’ had its book launch in the Legends Lounge at Lincoln City FC with almost a hundred family, friends and colleagues in attendance.

With prosecco and canapes served on arrival, the room was adorned with Bespoke Roller Banners, Table Cloths, Advertising Banners and a Personalised Fabric Wall sponsored by Running Imp to mark the occasion.

After introducing a long-time friend and one of the founders of the Great North Run, Max Coleby who had written the Foreword to the book, Chris showed a slide show of photographs recalling stories of his life before signing copies of his autobiography.
