The Ultimate Guide To Triathlon Medals, Numbers, Caps, Trophies & Awards 2025
Welcome, How to Contact Us & Order
Incredibly, 2025 will mark 37 years since my father founded Running Imp in January 1988, little did he imagine that it would have grown into the market leader in our field that it has today.
We are very proud to be supplying the finisher’s medals to some of the world’s greatest mass participation events including the TCS London Marathon and the AJ Bell Great North Run and can now offer 100% recycled medals and ribbons.
We’ve also invested heavily to help the environment by becoming more ecofriendly at work, and in April last year installed 220 solar panels on our Jubilee House headquarters in Lincoln, see below.
But whether it’s a large city event or a village fun run, no event is too large, but more importantly too small. We’re here to help you, and work with you, and give you the kind of service that we have always prided ourselves upon; Service, Advice, Choice and Value, to help make your event a success and memorable for your entrants.
It has been great to see the resurgence continue of fun runs, road races and mass participation events, along with swim meets, triathlons, school sports days and charity fundraisers making a much-welcomed comeback to their prepandemic days.
So I would sincerely like to thank all our customers, some of whom have supported us for many years and to prospective new ones, I wish you all a healthy, happy, and successful year.

London Marathon Events brought together the London Marathon, the world’s greatest cycling festival and the inspirational open-water swimming event, Swim Serpentine, to create the London Classics, one of the world’s great sporting challenges.
To complete the challenge, you were required to:
• Run the London Marathon
• Cycle 100 miles in the RideLondon-Essex 100
• Swim 2 miles at Swim Serpentine.
If you completed this iconic trio of events, you would have received a specially designed and much-coveted London Classics medal engraved with the Latin words: Et ego Londinium vici (‘I too have conquered London’) and listed in the London Classics Hall of Fame.
