What do you do with your race medals

[oreos]

Over the years I've accumulated a fair number of race metals, all of which are currently sitting in a random drawer at home.

What do you do with your race medals?

[InBetweenDays]

I built a small place to hang them in the craft area in our basement. The kids like to color coordinate them.

They are hanging on the rod in our closet.

They're in a box in the closet. Every year I put the medals from the previous year's races on the Christmas tree. Then they are returned to the box.

Mine all sat in a box forever. My marathon medals are hanging on my desk at work. (I usually have them & my training plan up, as motivation to run after work.) At Christmas, DH purchased a medal hanger for me, then he got one for himself. The two hangers hang side by side in our office, and then my awards are on our bookshelf.

[Wines Not Whines]

Nothing right now - they're either in drawers or sitting on shelves on my bookcase. A friend of mine hung her medals from a curtain rod (one that she put up specifically for that purpose; it doesn't have curtains on it) and I want to do something similar.

I have that, and also a Bibfolio from the same site to hold my bibs.

I have them on a shelf in my office right now. I plan to buy or make a medal hanger soon though.

We have something like this except it says my H's and my names.

I pretty much have this in blue.

Mine are all hanging on an over the door coat rack thing at my parents' house. I think when I move next time, I might transfer them up to my city. Depends on how much room we have. I want to build/buy something a bit more cool some day.

DH got me one of the medal hangers for Christmas and framed it with crown molding.

He plans to add 2 more pieces of wood/medal bar so I can hang the rest underneath in a overlapping fashion. I'll have to update when it is done, but it will probably be a while.

They're sitting in a pile on the book shelf.

[Susie]

I treat them as Christmas tree ornaments.

Yep! We have something similar from the same site. I really like the bars -vs- the individual medal hooks. You can stack a lot on there! Plus, I like that you can purchase extension bars.

The app has hated me lately, so let's see if this works.

Add me to the list of those that medal holders to hang on the wall. I've got 2 in our office and the second is almost full already.

[ktzmoh]

mine are all on a hanger in the closet collecting dust. All my running awards, however are .... oh wait. I don't have any of those

[jamalynn]

I found a medal and bib hanger on etsy and then copied it and made my own after a quick trip to Michael's.

[labbie]

I am planning to get one from Etsy,but right now the most recent ones are hanging up in the foyer over our chalkboard, and older ones are in a box somewhere

[jchokie79]

I made a medal holder/hanger a couple of years ago. Here's a link with instructions. I save my bibs with the medals so I wanted something that could display both. The hanger is now full, doubled up on the hooks and maybe need to make another one.

My H bought me this for my birthday last year. I love it.

[kams]

90% of them are in DDs dress up bin.

I'm guessing that's not actually a helpful suggestion.

[MrsE]

Mine are stuffed into a box and a few are in the bottom of my jewelry box.

Placing them on the Christmas tree reminds me of daisyle. Anyone heard from her lately? She hasn't updated her blog in months. Hope she is well.

[marcyiam]

So far I only have 2 so they just hang in my closet. lol

[jene]

I donated them to a charity that melts them down and makes them into medals for sick kids

[chw57]

Mine are all in a box in the back of my closet except Boston and Ironman which are handing front and center in my closet next to my workout clothes

[trigal]

Ours are currently in a big tangled pile in the spare bedroom. Someday we'll do something about that!

[sadlebred]

Mine are on the edge of a book case. I plan to get a rack for them at some point. I said that years ago. More are in a box somewhere.

For some reason I pictured your PR chalkboard as an actual classroom style chalkboard hanging in front of your TM like a TV. And it was awesome. This is good too, just not what I had built up in my mind.
