finisher medal

Race completion prize

A finisher medal is a commemorative medal given to everyone who completes a race, regardless of placement.

Unlike awards for top finishers, these recognize participation and personal achievement: She displays her marathon finisher medals on the wall.

Common in running events, triathlons, and charity walks.
