This week’s topic is Race Memorabilia
So I’ve run over 200 races. That’s a lot of stuff!!
Bibs:
I have them ALL shoved away somewhere – not on display cuz I have too many. My favorite ones are in a basket near my medals.
Medals:
this rack has 2 rows and holds 20 medals on each. The outer row has my half medals. Now what will I do with #21?
Again. I save them all. I have too many to display. I display ALL my half marathon medals and some others. Most again are in that basket.
Awards:
Some I’ve eaten (the food ones LOL). Some I wear (hats, socks gloves, etc.) Some I use (bottles, bowls, glasses, mugs, etc.) Most are on the desk below the rack above or in that basket.
Other Stuff:
I give away the shirts that don’t fit. I had some old ones made into a blanket. I usually just toss bags and heat sheets.
My Favorites:
a tough half and unexpected AG award – love this bridge too
This is a Rock and it is my 5k PR
Happy Running! What do you do with your race bling?
My First 5K and More... 
I love your medal hanger, it looks great! I have a medal hanger I hang in our home gym. I’ve really got to purge the race shirts though. They’re taking up a lot of room. I’m planning to keep some favorites but use the rest in a quilt.

I had some made into a quilt. I still have way too many.

that’s a great medal rack, and that bridge trophy is awesome!

I’ve started to toss bibs. I do keep bags, though — I always find uses for that! At least so far. Just call me a bag lady. 🙂

I should toss those bibs. I run too many races to keep all those bags. And I do have way too many bags already.

Of course I run far fewer races than you do!

I keep most of my race stuff, but a lot of the shirts either “accidentally” get left at the check-in table especially if they’re cotton) or donated.

Enough with cotton shirts!!

I have never donated any race memorabilia. I do like useful awards though like mugs, hats, and gloves.

I agree. I have enough medals.

I was planning on having a bag made of race bibs. Need to do that and then toss the rest. i have too many (but not 200!). we (husband is a runner too) have two medal hangers – one is for everything under a half marathon and the other is for half and up + rock n roll remix and heavy medals. those are full too!! too many shirts, etc. – actually need a clear out!! too busy running and training to do that though 🙂

That’s a great idea. How are you making the bag?
