Finished with a warm matte champagne gold outer ring and a themed blue ribbon, this medal is especially suitable for organisers who want participants to feel they are crossing not just a finish line, but a threshold between one year and the next.

Why this medal works well for New Year’s Eve races and milestone running events
This medal works especially well for New Year’s Eve race events because the hourglass shape gives the finisher award a meaning that goes beyond distance alone. Instead of functioning only as a sports medal, it becomes a symbol of transition, reflection and renewal. The fireworks in the upper section reinforce celebration and anticipation, while the glitter-filled lower section helps runners connect the medal with the closing of the old year. The outer ring and formal distance wording make the design feel event-worthy and structured, while the rich colour contrast keeps it festive and photo-friendly. This combination makes the medal particularly effective for races that want participants to remember the emotional timing of the event as much as the physical effort itself. The page describes the medal as a narrative New Year’s commemorative piece for a 21-mile event hosted under “The Running Bible” branding.
