Short Intro
We create this custom kids’ half marathon medal for youth running events, family half marathons, school outdoor programmes, and nature-themed community races that need a medal with stronger visual identity and a more meaningful connection to the event setting. Instead of using a standard round structure, we shape this design like a leaf so the medal immediately reflects outdoor movement, ecological themes, and a healthier active lifestyle. With bright lime green and yellow soft enamel, engraved black-filled wording, and a camouflage ribbon, this medal feels energetic, adventurous, and highly suitable for children’s endurance events. This design is especially suitable for organisers who want a youth race medal that combines regional identity, environmental character, and a more distinctive finish than a conventional sports award.

Why This Medal Fits Kids’ Half Marathon Events So Well
- We design this medal especially for youth half marathon and outdoor running events because the leaf shape gives the award a much stronger environmental and regional identity than a standard sports medal. The outline alone already suggests nature, movement, and growth, which makes it especially effective for events that encourage children to explore the outdoors and take on personal challenges.
- The bright green and yellow colour palette also works very well for children’s endurance events. Green conveys vitality, fresh air, and ecological awareness, while yellow brings in warmth, sunlight, and energy. Together, these colours make the medal feel youthful and positive, which is important for events that focus not only on achievement, but also on encouragement and participation.
- The engraved trees and East Texas wording give the medal an even stronger sense of place. This helps the award feel tied to a specific event environment rather than looking generic. For organisers, that means better local identity and stronger keepsake value. For children and families, it means the medal becomes a reminder of both the run and the natural setting around it.
Production Details
- We produce this kids’ medal in zinc alloy through precision special-shaped die-casting so the leaf outline, stem detail, top logo area, and engraved internal graphics remain clean and sharply defined. This process allows us to create a more organic silhouette while keeping the medal strong enough for practical event use and consistent batch production.
- We use high-saturation lime green and bright yellow soft enamel across the main body to simulate the lively, translucent look of a leaf in sunlight. Because the enamel sits slightly below the raised metal borders, the medal gains a clearer 3D feel and stronger separation between the coloured surface and engraved design elements. This makes the medal more tactile and visually distinctive in hand.
- We engrave the trees, event wording, and logo details directly into the zinc alloy base and then fill those recessed areas with black enamel. This creates a stronger contrast than flat printing and gives the medal a more durable, textured surface. We complete the design with a green-and-yellow camouflage sublimated ribbon that matches the medal colour scheme and adds an adventurous outdoor character to the full award.
What Can Be Customised for This Medal
We can customise this leaf-shaped kids’ medal in multiple ways according to your event theme and branding needs, including:
- medal size and thickness
- leaf outline and stem proportions
- event name, year, and category wording
- logo, foundation name, or sponsor branding
- enamel colour combinations
- engraved tree, forest, or nature-themed graphics
- ribbon colour, width, and printed artwork
- back-side engraving or commemorative message
- packaging for event distribution or premium presentation
This flexibility makes the design suitable not only for one East Texas-style youth race, but also for annual school runs, eco-themed sports programmes, junior trail events, and family outdoor activity series.
MOQ & Bulk Order Guidance
We recommend this kids’ medal for both medium and large event orders, especially for organisers running school endurance programmes, community half marathons, family race weekends, and recurring youth outdoor events. 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 schools, foundations, clubs, and wholesale buyers, bulk production also makes it easier to keep the same leaf-shaped structure while updating the year, event wording, ribbon pattern, or branding from one edition to the next. This helps organisers maintain a strong visual identity while keeping production practical and consistent.
