Personalised Running Trophy Award | Custom Running Prize UK

Celebrate every personal best with a running trophy that actually looks the part on a shelf or in a trophy cabinet. Our personalised running trophies are crafted from crystal-clear, premium acrylic and finished with vivid UV printing, giving you the polished, professional look of glass at a fraction of the cost. Whether it's a club presentation evening, a cross country final or a runner of the year award, this is one of our most popular running trophies UK clubs and schools keep coming back to: fast, fully customisable, and built to be kept.

Best For

This trophy is best suited to:

• Club presentation evenings: runner of the year, most improved, club champion, captain's award
• Road races and marathons: overall winners, age category prizes, personal best awards
• Cross country and track: league champions, county qualifiers, team awards
• Schools and academies: sports day trophies, PE department awards, athletics meet prizes
• One-off personal gifts: a keepsake for a first marathon, a parkrun milestone or a birthday

If you need something engraved in real glass instead, this isn't that. But if you want a modern, crystal-clear award that gives you full colour, a running silhouette, and the same premium feel, this is exactly the right product.

Why It Stands Out

Most awards for running on the market use thin acrylic and a generic engraved logo that looks flat under clubhouse lighting. Ours doesn't. The 20mm thickness gives it real weight and presence in a trophy cabinet, while UV printing means we can add full colour, club crests, running silhouettes, gradients, even photos. Not just etched text on a plain block.

It's also genuinely fast. Because everything is printed rather than hand-engraved, we can turn around custom running trophies and race trophies quickly without compromising on finish. That makes it ideal for race organisers and club secretaries working to a fixed presentation date, not just those planning months in advance.

How to Personalise Your Award

1. Choose your size from six available options, from A7 up to A4
2. Add your details: base number, award title, date or race text, and recipient name
3. Choose your symbol: pick a running icon or upload your own club or school logo
4. Check your details: read your wording back carefully, as we print exactly what you enter
5. We print and dispatch: your award goes into production and ships within 1–2 working days

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I add my running club or school logo?

Yes. Upload your logo during personalisation, or choose from our standard running symbols, and we'll print it in full colour alongside your text. No extra charge.

Q2: Can I see a proof before you print?

We don't send a proof as standard. If you'd like to see one, message us after ordering and we'll put it together for you. Do bear in mind this will delay dispatch, as we need to make the proof, send it over and get your confirmation before we can print.

Q3: Are these engraved running trophies, or is it printed?

These aren't engraved. We use full-colour UV printing onto premium acrylic, which gives sharper detail, richer colour, and the option to include logos and gradients that engraving can't achieve. If you specifically need an engraved trophy, this product isn't the right fit.

Q4: What's the difference between this and a crystal or glass running award?

Acrylic is lighter, more impact-resistant, and allows full-colour printing rather than etching, so it suits club crests, multi-colour designs, and photos better than most crystal running awards. Glass and crystal typically cost more and are heavier and riskier to ship, especially for clubs posting trophies out to multiple winners.

Q5: Can I order just one, or a full set for a presentation evening?

No minimum order. Whether you need a single runner of the year trophy or a full set for an end of season presentation evening, pricing and turnaround stay the same per unit, and we're happy to mix sizes across one order so your top award stands out. Ordering 10 or more? Use our Trophy Bundle Builder to put your set together and get a bulk discount.

Q6: Do you make trophies for cross country and marathons too?

Yes. The same award works as a cross country trophy, a marathon or half marathon prize, a fun run award or a parkrun milestone keepsake. Just tell us the wording and we'll set it out for you.

Q7: Can I return or exchange a personalised running trophy?

Because each trophy is custom-made with a name, date, and race details, we can only accept returns for faulty items or printing errors caused by us. Please double-check runner names, dates and spelling before you order, as we print exactly what you enter.

Ordering for a Whole Club, School or Event?

If you need 10 or more, our Trophy Bundle Builder lets you put the whole set together in one go and gives you a bulk discount as you add trophies. Mix sizes across the order so your top award stands out. On larger orders it's worth asking us for a proof before we print – just message us after ordering.
