Commemorative Trophies
Every race has its own story. Every finish deserves an award that the competitor carries away from the finish line and puts on display — not in a drawer. Spinfactory commemorative trophies are designed with a specific event, route and occasion in mind.
A trophy the competitor
shows off, not hides away
A medal ends up in a drawer. A trophy stands on a shelf. We've known this for more than four decades — which is why organisers of runs and tournaments are increasingly choosing trophies over engraved plates.
Why does a trophy make a bigger impression than yet another medal?
A medal is a great award for the mass participant — light, cheap to produce in series and easy to distribute. But a competitor who won their category or finished a demanding mountain race for the tenth time deserves something they can put on display, not just put away. A commemorative trophy fills this gap: its size fits on a desk, its weight and finish say "this was serious", and its form refers to the specific event. Such an award lives for years in the competitor's space — and every year reminds them that it was worth signing up again.
Which events do we handle most often?
We specialise in awards for road races (marathons, half-marathons, 10 km runs), mountain and trail races, triathlons, cycling events and Nordic walking competitions. We work on both prestigious one-off events and recurring races with a long history, where the trophy becomes a recognisable tradition. We are just as happy to design awards for sports tournaments, league finals and end-of-season galas.
How do you plan a series of trophies for an event with many categories?
The most convenient solution is one trophy form with different engraved plates for each category. Alternatively — three sizes corresponding to the podium places: larger for first, smaller for second and third. For events with a large number of age categories, we help plan the whole set so that it works logistically: properly labelled boxes, a prepared presentation plan. Planning starts with a conversation — not with an order spreadsheet.
When is the best time to order before an event?
We recommend getting in touch at least 3 weeks before the presentation date — this allows time for the design, any revisions and production without pressure. With a ready design and a smaller quantity we can go down to 5 working days. Express production in 48 hours is possible, but it's the exception — we prefer to have a buffer so that the trophy looks exactly as approved, not "almost".

Commemorative trophies
— selected projects
Every trophy is created with a specific event in mind. Below are selected projects for runs, tournaments and mass sports events delivered by Spinfactory.
A trophy in a made-to-measure box
We make our own wooden boxes for trophies, with a foam insert cut to the shape of the trophy. You can order a custom box for your design — with engraving and in the finish of your choice.
