When ordering a Large or Small frame, you'll need to choose between a Round and Non-Round medal opening. Here's how to decide.
Round medal opening
The round opening is designed for circular medals, the standard shape for most marathon and running events. If your medal is a simple circle (even with details cut into the edge), the round opening will fit it perfectly.
Non-Round medal opening
The non-round opening is larger and accommodates medals with unusual shapes: stars, shields, hexagons, intricate cut-out designs, or oversized medals. It also works for round medals, so if you're unsure, go non-round.
How to check
- ✓Hold your medal up to the light
- ✓If the outer edge is a clean circle → Round opening
- ✓If the edge has unusual cutouts, points, or a non-circular outline → Non-Round opening
- ✓When in doubt → Non-Round (it works for both)
You can also contact us with the name of your race and we'll confirm which opening you need.
