SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2024
Ironman World Championship: Nice
In September, we had the privilege of attending the Ironman Women's World Championship in Nice, France, where the very best female triathletes from around the world competed.
It's always a joy to witness athletes proudly receive the medals we've crafted after they cross the finish line. For this event, we also had the pleasure of making legacy and challenge coins, lapel pins, and medals for the swim only event, kids run, and fun run.

Marine Corps Marathon
For the past 12 years, we’ve had the honor of creating the medals for the Marine Corps Marathon, otherwise known as “The People’s Marathon.” This year's theme was “a bond that bridges generations - women who serve our Nation and communities.” The medal was of course inspired by that theme, displaying Molly Marine, who "serves as a symbol of pride for the women, past and present, who have earned the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor."
Congratulations to all who participated in this historic event last weekend - your dedication inspires us all! See you next year for MCM's 50th anniversary!

Bank of America Chicago Marathon
Our team also had the opportunity to travel to Chicago again this year for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. We are thrilled to be the exclusive medal manufacturers for Chicago Event Management. Each medal we create is a symbol of the hard work and dedication the runners put into their training, and it’s an honor to play a role in commemorating their accomplishments.
Chicago's vibrant atmosphere during the marathon is truly inspiring, and we’re excited to support such a remarkable event that brings together thousands of athletes from all over the world.
Happy Halloween!
We hope everyone who celebrated had a safe and fun Halloween! Spooky season is one of our favorite times of the year here at Always Advancing, as we get to help our clients bring some scary good designs to life. Featured here are the medals and shirts we made for J&A's Wicked Weekend, which took place on October 25th and 26th.
Another favorite from this year was the voice speaker medal we made for VR Pro's Halloween Races. Click the button below to reveal its magic (if you dare)...
