They don't just hire us once

Finish Line Engravers has been a valued partner of the University Hospitals Cleveland Marathon for years. The medal engraving experience is always a hit with our runners — it’s one of the first places many participants visit after crossing the finish line. Aaron, Kris, and the entire team are organized, professional, and consistently deliver a seamless experience. We can’t imagine race weekend without them.
Joan FreeseDirector of Runner Services, Cleveland Marathon, Inc.
The Finish Line Engravers team always shows up prepared and ready to welcome all runners. Our runners love the opportunity to personalize their accomplishment. The team communicates well ahead of time and we’ve had a long partnership with them. I would absolutely recommend Finish Line Engravers to any race director or brand.
Christopher MartiniRace Director, Kentucky Derby Marathon
Finish Line Engravers has been an incredible partner. Operationally, they couldn’t be easier to work with. Their setup is professional and enhances the overall race-day atmosphere. They are collaborative, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Finish Line Engravers are extremely easy to work with — from registration integration to on-site activation. They help us celebrate our participants’ accomplishments and are low-maintenance partners. We highly recommend them!
John CappellaRace Director, Flying Pig Marathon, Cincinnati, OH
A good number of Columbus 10K participants pre-purchase their medal engraving through our registration path, and everyone loves the personalization capabilities. Finish Line Engravers are more than an event vendor for us — they are an event partner. Finish Line Engravers being at our event makes our event better.

Text message program

One text. Your medal pass.

At the event, runners opt in by scanning the Finish Line Engravers QR code and entering their mobile number on our registration form. We then send one (1) transactional text message per registration containing the runner's medal QR pass — the code they show at the engraving station.

That's the whole program. No marketing, promotional, or recurring messages are ever sent. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or reply HELP for help. No mobile information will be shared with third parties.
