Running on the Wall Race Bib & Medal Holder Review


Running on the Wall custom race bib & medal holder in Sage
The Green Girl got a customized Race Bib and Medal Holder from Running on the Wall.

The Running on the Wall displays are handcrafted from recycled MDF wood by wife and husband runners, Melianna and Alex. They also use water-based paint and non-chemical based varnishes.

I decided to get my favorite quote on a sage display:

A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Lao Tzu

The exact Chinese translation of the quote 千里之行,始于足下 is 'A journey of a thousand li starts beneath one’s feet'. A li is the equivalent of roughly a third of a mile.

This quote is on the Inperspire Towel I use for yoga and it's engraved on my ring from my mum.

Melianna provided outstanding customer service and was very helpful when I inquired about the specific shades of green.

My display was shipped quickly and securely (with no excess packaging) in a USPS Priority Mail box.

The vinyl lettering was covered with a clear varnish for protection and easy dusting.

The display arrived with the hardware - L-shaped metal hanging pegs, 4 bib extension rings, and 2 nails - in a plastic zip bag.

Assembly was straight-forward - I hand screwed the L-shaped metal hanging pegs into each of the pre-drilled holes until the flat portion was flush with the wood.

After all the hanging pegs were installed, I flipped the holder over and used a piece of scrap paper to jot dots down for the nail positioning.

I'm absolutely thrilled with how my customized holder turned out and it's nice to finally have a way to display race bibs.

The Green Girl's MOO MiniCards

The Green Girl ordered a set of MOO MiniCards to give out for personal contact cards.

MOO MiniCards are half the size of a standard business card. The MiniCards are printed on a thicker paper stock and finished with a matte laminate. They are acid and lignin free.

On a few of the CasITa-to-5k runs, I had asked one of the CasITa-to-5kers, Brandy, to take some pictures of me for my MOO Mini's.

I ultimately chose a shot from the CasITa-to-5k Moccasin Trail run.

Even though I was appalled by my blatant heel striking, I really liked how it came out.

On the back side of the card, I had my contact information printed along with my favorite quote:

The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Lao Tzu

My mum knows how much I love this quote so she had it engraved on a ring for my birthday last year.

Since I am slightly obsessed with storage and organization, after I placed my order, I headed over to Etsy to find a little holder to store my MOO Mini's.

In my search, I came across the Splatgirl Creates store and the MOOPockets.

The MOOPockets were available in the leather or suede color of your choice and the trim and lining could be customized as well.

I placed an order for a pea green leather MOOPocket with orange lining and trim. (It's a little known fact that the Green Girl's second favorite color is orange.)

I am absolutely thrilled with how my MOO Mini's and MOOPocket turned out.
