Speaking of sisplaying medals, my wife bought me a glass cabinet of the sort that you have to display collections of figurines or similar nick-nacks. My marathon medals go in there and it lives currently in the office. All other running medals of all distances are hung over one end of a curtain pole in the office, and my lone triathlon medal hangs at the other end.

Personally, I agree with the make the race cheaper policy, pretty much for any distance. I still like a marathon medal, though :-)

Sorry to say that when I've been ruthless spring cleaning I've chucked/re-homed race t shirts, mugs and the like but I've never thrown away a medal...
