The front design combines a local lighthouse landmark, club branding and bold 5KM wording, while the reverse side uses a runner icon and bridge-inspired element to reflect both movement and place. Finished in antique nickel with black and gold soft enamel, this medal works especially well for organisers who want a road race award that feels civic, memorable and closely tied to local culture.

Why this medal works well for club road races and place-based community events ?
This design is especially effective for road races that want the medal to represent more than just the race distance. The shield shape gives the award a stronger sense of honour and identity, which is particularly suitable for running clubs, civic events and locally rooted races. By combining a recognisable landmark on the front with runner and bridge-inspired elements on the back, the medal creates a fuller story around the event, the location and the organising club. This makes it more memorable than a generic 5K finisher medal and more suitable for races that want to strengthen participant attachment to the community. Shield-shaped medals are relatively rare in race events, which makes this format feel more unique and distinctive.
