The Ultimate Guide To Bespoke Medals, Coins, Key Rings & Bottle Openers 2025

Page 1


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.

Hours of Business

Monday to Thursday: 8.30am - 5.00pm Friday: 8.30am - 4.30pm. Tel: 01522 502136

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.

Why Work With Us?

Why Choose Us?

We are the UK’s market leader in mass participation event supplies and sports medals. We offer everything you could possibly need when organising an event, large or small, to help make it a success.

Our reputation for excellent quality and service grows year on year and we produce over 4 million medals annually, exclusively designed and engraved from our headquarters.

Sustainability

We understand that a design has to be eye-catching, original and something that is cherished for many years to come, that’s why we’ve built an experienced creative team to ensure that your medal stands out. At Running Imp we care passionately about the environment and sustainability, and last year installed 220 solar panels on our Jubilee House headquarters in Lincoln. We are also addressing how we run our operations, supply chain, packaging materials, water, and energy use.

Fully Recycled Medals, Ribbons & Pin Badges

All our medals are made from environmentally friendly metals and we can now offer 100% recycled medals with RPET Ribbons and 100% recycled pin badges.

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

We also offer a recycling scheme for leftover metal 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 with. We also offer wooden medals that are made from FSC 100% sustainable wood and samples can be sent upon request.

Plastic-Free Packaging

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

We reuse packaging from our supply chain, including shredding cardboard to use as packaging in our warehouse and our packaging is sourced, manufactured, and recycled using renewable energy.

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 as well as plastic stakes.

Why Work With Us?

Don’t take our word for it...

Our customers say: Excellent 4.9 out of 5

We 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 was evident throughout Covid-19 where they showed flexibility and a true understanding of the dilemmas that event organisers faced.

MARATHON EVENTS

We have used Running Imp for over 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.

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.

Please Note

Eco-Friendly Double Sided Heat Transfer Printed Ribbons with every order during 2025

• A small minority of medals may have imperfections in the wood such as knots.

• If excessive pressure is applied to the wood or to the ribbon clip, this may cause the medal and ribbon hole to snap.

• The design clarity and etching tone may differ from each medal.

• The edges of the medal should not have any splinters or create any, however, a splinter may be present in very few cases.

• After laser engraving has been completed, a burnt odour will be present; this will remain on the finished product.

• In some cases, a small amount of scratching may appear where a clip-on ribbon has been attached.
