How do you display your Finisher medals? (Page 3)

in a shoebox in a drawer with all my race numbers and other finshers medals.  The drawer is stuffed with different workout gear/clothes. Every few months when im digging for the missing long sleave shirt or the missing glove i end up in the shoebox and see the medal. I then have about 10 seconds of nostalgia and then go on with what im doing.  The past 8 months have been about preparing to earn another one anyways.

I have donated all of my medals (aside from my first IM, my first marathon and my first Chicago Triathlon) to medals4mettle.org. 

You send them the medals and cut off the ribbons around them... they put new ribbons on them and give them to kids fighting cancer. You write a little blurb about the medal or about something you overcame to finally achieve it. I don't need a bunch of medals. It's not like I wear them around the house. 

I do have my bib numbers wall papered in my garage.

One day, my wife took all of my medals and placed them on a "tree" that she used to use for some of her jewelry.  I thought it was a nice way to display them.

You should consider adding a light show set to "Ironman" 

Glue a magnet (or three) on the back and put them on the fridge.  I don't think I'm going to do this for my future (hopefully) IM medal, but the ones that end up in a pile will eventually end up with a magnet stuck on the back.

Got a nice frame/box for my first IM - not sure if I'll frame the 2nd one.

All the others are on a nail in the basement.

I don't.    I give them to my youngest (9yo) to play with.

Finisher medals are lightweight items that are easy to mount or hang.  A bookcase or cabinet shelf is enough to contain other items like trophies, plaques, etc.  Here are some ideas to display medals and trophies in a cabinet or bookcase.
