Global Art Gifts Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of marathon race medals in China. Please rest assured to buy bulk fashion marathon race medals from our factory. All customized products are with high quality and competitive price. Contact us for quotation.
Marathon race medals from Global Art Gifts Co., Ltd. are designed for major city marathons, charity runs, destination races, and other large-scale running events. We support bulk production while maintaining consistent appearance, color, relief, and finish throughout each order.
A successful marathon medal should reflect both the achievement and the host location. Our marathon race medals can incorporate city skylines, landmarks, course features, local culture, event logos, and sponsor elements. This place-based design turns the medal into a lasting souvenir of the runner's journey rather than a generic participation award.
Available customization options include size, shape, thickness, metal finish, soft or hard enamel, 2D or 3D relief, cutouts, rotating components, reverse-side details, custom ribbons, and individual packaging. Each design is reviewed for readability and production feasibility before manufacturing.
For destination races or designs containing fine architectural and landscape details, we recommend evaluating a physical sample before bulk production. This helps confirm that small elements, colors, textures, and relief depths translate accurately from the digital artwork into finished metal. Custom specifications, packaging, production guidance, and additional product information are available upon request.
Complete Production Process
- Artwork review and manufacturability check
- Steel mold creation using CNC or EDM technology
- Zinc alloy die-casting under high pressure
- Polishing and surface preparation
- Plating application (gold, silver, bronze)
- Enamel color filling (optional, hand-applied)
- Ribbon attachment with secure fastening
- Three-stage quality inspection
- Packaging for shipment
Each step in this process contributes to the final quality of your marathon race medals. The mold creation stage is particularly important because it determines the level of detail your medal can achieve. A well-made mold produces medals with sharp edges, clear text, and defined relief for thousands of cycles.

The combination you choose affects both appearance and how the medal ages. Antique finishes with soft enamel are our most popular combination for marathon race medals because they provide excellent durability and rich visual depth. The antique process creates contrast between raised and recessed areas, making design details more readable from a distance.
