The Ultimate Guide To Trophies, Cups, Shields, Plaques, Awards & Glassware 2026 by Running Imp

Welcome & How to Contact Us

Like many businesses in Lincoln, my father derived our name from the ‘Lincoln Imp’, a stone carving found in Lincoln’s historic cathedral and founded Running Imp in 1988 as a ‘onestop-shop’ for event organisers. Little did he imagine that 38 years later it would have grown into the market leader in our field that it has today.

We specialise in bespoke medals and are the UK’s leading supplier delivering over 4 million medals worldwide each year, from village fun runs to some of the world’s greatest mass participation events including the TCS London Marathon and the AJ Bell Great North Run, however, no event is too large, but more importantly, too small

But we’re more than just a ‘one-stopshop’ for event organisers. We also specialise in supplying trophies, t-shirts, promotional items and clothing to clubs, schools, charities and organisations, and guarantee that we will not be beaten on price, quality or service.

We also care passionately about the environment and sustainability and can now offer 100% recycled medals, ribbons and pin badges and have installed 220 solar panels on our Jubilee House headquarters in Lincoln to become more eco-friendly, see below.

We’re always here to help you, work with you and give you the Service, Advice, Choice and Value that we have always prided ourselves upon, to help make your event or presentation a success and memorable.

So, I would sincerely like to thank all our customers, some of whom have supported us for many years and to prospective new ones, I wish you all a healthy, happy, and successful year.
