Sustainable Triathlon Medals
Custom Wooden Medals for Sprint, Olympic, Half & Full Distance Triathlons
Triathlon events demand medals that reflect the challenge.
From first-time sprint finishers to full-distance competitors, participants value medals that feel distinctive and earned — not generic stock designs.
We design and manufacture sustainable wooden triathlon medals for UK event organisers. Every medal is custom made, laser cut and engraved using sustainably sourced wood.
Whether your event includes sprint, Olympic, middle or long-distance formats, we create medals that represent swim, bike and run disciplines clearly and professionally.
Designed Specifically for Triathlon Events
We have supplied medals for:
Sprint triathlons
Half and full distance triathlons
Aquabike events
Duathlons (run-bike-run)
Multi-race series
Each format has slightly different design priorities — and we help you align the medal with your event identity.
Popular Design Ideas for Triathlon Medals
Triathlon medals often feature:
Clear swim / bike / run iconography
Three-section layout engraving
Minimal, clean typography
Larger 70mm diameter for visual impact
Cut-out elements (e.g. cyclist silhouette or wave detail)
Because we laser cut rather than stamp metal, your medal can take on distinctive shapes that reflect the multi-discipline nature of the sport.
Why Choose Wooden Triathlon Medals?
1. Professional & Distinctive
Wood engraves with strong contrast and crisp detail, ideal for the clean, technical aesthetic common in triathlon branding.
2. Fully Custom Design
Every medal is created from scratch for your event. No catalogue templates.

Triathletes are often environmentally conscious. Wooden medals reinforce responsible event management.
4. Suitable for Multi-Distance Events

Series medals that complement each other
Sprint & Olympic Distance Medals
These events often favour:
Clean, bold layouts

Half & Full Distance Medals

Detailed engraving
Layered wood for depth
Strong finish-line branding
