Marathon medals deserve particular attention because completing 26.2 miles is such a significant personal achievement. Many marathon runners train for months before race day, often fitting long runs around work, family and other commitments.
The running medal waiting at the finish line provides a physical reminder of all that effort. Organisers often create special marathon medals featuring local landmarks, race branding or a design that changes each year, encouraging runners to return and collect the next edition.
