Short Intro
We create this custom kids’ race medal for family race weekends, kids’ fun runs, mountain resort running events, and multi-distance community race programmes that need a medal with stronger visual personality and a more playful finish-line identity. Instead of using a standard round shape, we build this design around a French fry carton silhouette, which immediately gives the medal a fun and child-friendly appearance while still keeping a strong race-award structure. With antique bronze plating, scenic mountain artwork, glitter accents, and soft enamel baking paint, this medal feels cheerful, memorable, and highly suitable for youth finishers and family-oriented race events.

Why This Medal Fits Kids’ Race Events So Well
- We design this medal especially for kids’ race and family running events because children respond strongly to playful shapes and easy-to-recognise visual themes. The French fry carton outline gives the medal instant character and makes it feel more exciting than a conventional sports medal. That kind of novelty helps younger finishers feel proud of the award and more emotionally connected to the event.
- The scenic top section adds another strong advantage. We use mountains, pine trees, and a stag silhouette to connect the medal to an outdoor resort setting, which makes the award feel more place-specific and more memorable as a destination-race keepsake. This balance between fun shape and mountain scenery works especially well for family race weekends where both children and adults are part of the wider event atmosphere.
- The glitter detail also plays an important role. We use it to add sparkle and visual reward, which is especially effective for young runners. A finish-line medal for children should feel joyful and motivating, and the glitter effect helps reinforce that sense of celebration without taking away from the medal’s overall quality.
Production Details
- We produce this kids’ medal in zinc alloy through precision die-casting so the custom French fry carton silhouette, mountain peaks, pine trees, and stag detail remain clean and structurally stable. This process allows us to preserve the playful outline while still giving the medal the durability and weight expected from a real event award. The shaped structure is one of the most distinctive parts of the design and gives the medal far stronger individuality than a standard round piece.
- We finish the metal in antique bronze plating to create a warm and slightly vintage look that contrasts well with the colourful scenic elements. This finish works especially well for outdoor-themed medals because it gives the award a more rugged and natural tone than bright silver or glossy gold. It also helps the raised borders and recessed sections stand out more clearly.
- For the coloured areas, we use a durable soft enamel baking paint process. We apply deep black in the lower section to support the event branding and distance text, while the top scenic section includes lighter tones and glitter accents to simulate snowy sky or bright mountain detail. We also recess the distance wording — including Half, 10K, and Kids Race — into the lower section to keep the event categories clear and easy to identify.
What Can Be Customised for This Medal
We can customise this kids’ race medal in multiple ways according to your event theme and branding needs, including:
- medal size and thickness
- outer silhouette and novelty shape
- scenic background, mascot, or resort-themed artwork
- event name, year, and distance wording
- antique bronze, matte silver, bright gold, or other plated finishes
- enamel colours and glitter accents
- ribbon colour, width, and printed branding
- back-side engraving or commemorative message
- packaging for event distribution or premium presentation
This flexibility makes the design suitable not only for one Beaver Creek-style race, but also for annual family running festivals, mountain-resort events, junior sports programmes, and themed kids’ fun runs.
MOQ & Bulk Order Guidance
We recommend this kids’ medal for both medium and large event orders, especially for organisers running family race weekends, multi-distance mountain events, and recurring children’s running programmes. In most cases, 100 pieces is a practical starting quantity, while larger quantities improve average unit cost and make event-wide customisation more efficient.
For race organisers, resorts, schools, and wholesale buyers, bulk production also makes it easier to keep the same novelty shape while updating the year, wording, or scenic branding from one edition to the next. This helps maintain a strong event identity while keeping production stable and practical.
