I have a few medals from local Half Marathons, but they're just hanging off the doorknob of a closet. Anyone have a better display method?

I put mine on my varsity jacket. Which doesn't fit me (shrunk somehow) and has been stuffed in what used to be my bedroom closet for the last 19 years.  |

Did the Kross Kountry Krogerian come with a nice medal? |

| No. That run is inextricably intertwined with the sheer joy of distance running. |

Mine are next to my computer monitor, hanging off of the window latch. 2 HMs and a 25k. This year I should be getting another 25k medal, another HM, and my first marathon.  |

How can you be a two-time marathon runner without any finisher's medals? Some bizarre Hawaiian state regulation?
I have three HM and one marathon currently hanging from a curtain rod finial.

Mine are laying in the back of my closet somewhere. I was thinking of doing something with them, and I came across this display:
http://www.marathonmemoriesnmore.com/page1/page1.html
Nothing more than a glorified hat rack, but it's cheap and simple. I was also thinking about making a framed display myself by taking thin hobby boards from home depot, wrapping them with felt, and then stacking them up inside a frame, but that sounds like work.

| All mine are in the side table drawer by my bed with the ribbons neatly folded. I don't think my wife would ever let me hang them anywhere. Besides, I'd kinda feel like I was bragging if I did hang them up. |

Wow, I am totally new to running, but have completed one 5k and have built quite the shrine to memorialize it. I didn't realize I was supposed to throw the medal in a closet!
Seriously, I took like an 8x11 frame and placed the flyer for the race, my bib number, and a pic of me crossing the line in it and have the medal (3rd age group ) draped over the top of it. It's in my office at work. |
