Custom Winner Medals for the UKOCR Race Series 2025 | Zero Waste Medals
Zero Waste Medals: Elevating the UKOCR Race Series 2025
The UKOCR Race Series 2025, organised by British Obstacle Sports and supported by Spartan UK, is one of the most competitive events in the UK obstacle racing calendar. Featuring elite, pro and age group categories, the series pushes competitors to their limits with demanding courses and more than 60 obstacles across multiple locations.
Recognising the top performers — particularly in the highly competitive age group categories — is an important part of the event experience. To celebrate these achievements, Zero Waste Medals created a custom engraved winner medal for the 2025 series, giving athletes a lasting reminder of their success.
Our approach focuses on creating custom medals made in the UK that enhance the moment competitors step onto the podium. By combining thoughtful design with responsible production methods, each medal becomes more than an award — it becomes part of the memory of the race.
About the UKOCR Race Series
The UKOCR Race Series is designed to identify the strongest obstacle course racers in the country. Competitors face physically demanding courses that test endurance, grip strength, agility and mental resilience.
The series includes high-level competitions such as the British OCR Youth Championships and international qualifiers including the OCR European Championships. With athletes travelling from across the UK to compete, the event has become a major fixture in the obstacle racing community.
Why Medals Matter in Obstacle Racing
For athletes who complete these demanding courses, receiving a medal represents far more than a simple award. It marks the culmination of months of training, preparation and determination.
- A tangible reward for overcoming challenging obstacles
- A symbol of dedication and competitive spirit
- A lasting reminder of a major personal achievement
- Motivation to return and compete again
Well-designed sports medals help reinforce the prestige of an event and create a moment competitors remember long after the race is finished.
Designing the UKOCR Winner Medal
The 2025 UKOCR Age Group Winner medal features a bold circular design finished in a sleek black material. Precision engraving highlights the wording "2025 UK OCR Age Group Winner", surrounding the central event logo.
The clean, minimal design ensures the focus remains on the athlete's achievement while still reflecting the professional standard of the event itself.
A white satin ribbon completes the medal, allowing it to stand out clearly when presented to winners on the podium.
Sustainability and UK Production
At Zero Waste Medals, we specialise in creating custom medals made in the UK using responsible production methods.
While this particular design uses acrylic, many of our medals are produced using sustainably sourced wood as a natural alternative to traditional metal medals. Our ribbons are made from recycled polyester, and producing medals locally in the UK reduces international shipping impacts.
This combination allows event organisers to recognise achievement while also making more environmentally conscious choices for their events.
Custom Medals for Your Event
If you are organising a race, sports competition or community event, custom medals can significantly enhance the participant experience.
Zero Waste Medals works with event organisers across the UK to create bespoke designs that reflect the spirit of each competition — from obstacle races and running events to school competitions and community festivals.
