I have been coveting those awesome bib and medal holders that are on Etsy and thought I'd ask for one for Christmas (along with an RnR Tour Pass) but happened upon something that would work just as well. Found it at Homegoods for $13.
Being the super disorganized person that I am I have misplaced many of my medals and threw out some of my bibs. I didn't realize running would be so important to me and am upset that I didn't keep those things in order. Oh well, means I need to do more races to replenish!
I plan on adding a small chalkboard or something above it to add my race distances and PRs.

I keep all my medals. Right not they are in my closet, but I have been meaning to get a medal rack for a while now. The bibs I usually throw away. I never really thought about keeping those but maybe I will start saving them too!
I have a medal/bib holder from Etsy that MH picked out for Christmas, but found one I like better, that has a section to write your PRs in chalk. Maybe when the first is full!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

You can't see them very well, but there are probably 125-150 medals here from throughout the years I've been racing. They are just hung on a bookshelf in the spare/storage/junk bedroom. There are also some in a box in my closet. My cool trophies and plaques are on the shelves in my office. I keep very few race numbers and put them in a photo album.

I throw the bibs out.
This is the box that I started when we got married 9 years ago. Right now it's in the garage. There were a bunch shoved in the glove compartment of my car for awhile, too.
I need to purge before we make the next move. It's getting a little unwieldy. One day I'd like to have some sort of display for the more memorable ones. You ladies have some cute set-ups.
We've started pinning all my bibs in the garage. Tape does nothing to keep them up there. I still need to find something to hang all my medals on. Although, DS likes to walk around the house with them around his neck. Ha. Funny guy.
I have a friend who does a lot of different races, and I know that she was trying to come up with a solution for her bibs, but she requested that I make this for her medals a couple years ago. I sell on Etsy, but I won't post the link unless someone wants it. Just giving you an idea.
They're in a box. I just packed them up this weekend to move them. I'll put the medals from this year's races (n=1) on the Christmas tree then back in the box they go. One day I'll figure out something to do with them..:.
