Running medals are equally valuable for shorter races and community events. A 5K or 10K may be a runner's first organised race, while charity fun runs often attract people who would not normally consider themselves runners.
Giving everyone who completes the course a medal creates a wonderful atmosphere at the finish line and makes the event feel inclusive. For children especially, receiving a medal can be a huge source of excitement and pride, helping encourage an interest in running and active lifestyles.
