The Better Medals Manifesto

The Truth:

Events shouldn’t cost the earth.
But the medals often do.

The Problem:

Medals have become the standard token given out at the finish line.

They are hung up, slung out, hidden in a drawer – but ultimately they head to landfill.
Participants work so hard their achievement deserves more.

The Difference:

Better Medals don’t stop at the finish line.
They grow wildflowers.
They plant forests.
They turn an ending into a beginning.

And along the way, they create meaningful work for people who need it most.

We’re with you:

Events are hard to organise.

Sign-ups shift. Numbers change.

The pressure is on to be greener.

​

We make planning easier — 25% wiggle room on quantity. Medals that store until race day (and beyond if you need to rebrand and reuse for another event).

And the planet is at the heart of everything we do. With us your event grows a forest, feeds the bees, and we provide an impact report to show the difference you’ve made. Everyone wins. 


Sure, you can always grab cheap, landfill-destined medals at the last minute.
But that’s not why you’re here. Is it?

Our Invitation:

The world doesn’t need more medals.
It needs better ones.

​

Are you in?

It doesn’t cost a thing to get a price...

Wait!

Can you help us change events for the good?
