Challenge
Event buyers often want a medal that shows the host city, the runner motion and the race distance in one piece, and that still feels interactive after race day instead of living unused in a drawer.
Solution
- What you see on the piece: Red-blue ribbon, city skyline and track motifs, centre runner disc, lower bib charm marked 42195.
- Interactive mechanism: Centre disc spins on a bilateral axle; a lower bib plate hangs on twin rings and can take batch laser coding by runner group.
- Materials: Zinc-alloy die-cast body, metal spin axle, polyester heat-transfer ribbon.
- Surface finish: Antique-gold plating, red/blue soft enamel, local sandblast and high polish, laser-etched number plate.

- Process route: Part split → 3D model → steel mold → die cast → deflash → polish → plate → enamel fill → bake → axle assembly → ribbon stitch → number match → final inspection.

FAQ
How does the spinning centre stay smooth after plating?
The axle seats are held to a tight tolerance before plating; after plating we re-check spin torque in the 0.06–0.18 N·m band and reject sticky pieces before packing.
Can each medal carry a unique bib number?
Yes. The hanging plate is laser-etched in batches so numbers stay unique; packing lists are matched to carton marks for finish-line distribution.
What ribbon width suits this medal?
This design uses a 38 mm sublimation ribbon. Other widths can be quoted if the bail opening is adjusted on the proof.
Will the spinning disc loosen in transit?
Axle retention is checked on every piece, and cartons use anti-scratch sleeves so discs cannot grind against neighbours.
Can the city skyline artwork be swapped for another city?
Yes. Send vector or high-resolution artwork; we rebuild the relief on a new proof before cutting a mold.
What is the usual MOQ for a spinning race medal?
From 50 pcs as the standard starting point; interactive multi-part medals are confirmed per design in the written quote.
How long does sampling take for a spinning medal?
Typically 3–10 working days after proof approval, because the spin axle needs a functional sample, not only a look sample.
Do you claim this as an official marathon partnership?
No. This page describes a city-marathon-style finisher medal we manufacture. Event logos and official marks are used only with the buyer’s written authorisation.
