Running a half or full marathon, completing a triathlon, or any other sporting challenge is a bit accomplishment. After completing the race many people aren’t sure what to do with their race bibs or the medals they have received.

Here are some great ideas on how you can proudly display your race pride:

Race Bibs

Write on the back of each race bib the date, location, distance and race time. After finishing more than a dozen races, it gets difficult to remember each race. Use them like a race journal to record the weather conditions and memorable moments from the race.

• Use a display binder with plastic page protectors. Slide bibs into each one.
• Hang a corkboard and pin up race bibs, photos, race maps and other race mementos.
• Local photo finishing stores can laser scan them and put them onto coasters or other merchandise.
• Frame them in document frames with custom matting.
• Create a scrapbook of race day memories including timing chips, photos, course maps, etc.

Medals

Medals are often tossed into a desk or shoebox or with other momentos. They should be proudly displayed. On cold or wet days, it’s especially motivating to see them hanging up as a reminder of what you can accomplish if you stick to your training.

• Hang them from a corkboard with other race photos or memorabilia.
• Stainless steel or wooden towel rods work great for mounting in a hallway or office.
• Have them custom framed with your race bib.

Race Shirts

Every race from 10k to full marathon has a race day shirt. Over time they really add up. Although you might wear some during training post-race, don’t just let them hang in a closet or go to a donation box, turn them into something useful that you can remember your important race day.

Race shirts can easily be reused and sewn into a number of different items including:

• A custom patchwork blanket or quilt.
• Pillows for a recreation room couch.
• Reusable lunch bags.

Hey guys, if you want to show off your best assets, get yourself some fierce, body-conscious underwear by fashion designer, Timoteo. The designs are new, sexy, fun and packed with colour.

The well-built and ass-hugging underwear collections feature strong material. The attention to detail, such as the extra wide waistbands make these some of the most intense and most comfortable underwear out there. There are three distinct collections to choose from: classic, quake and sport.

But there’s more than just underwear. Timoteo also has a wide selection of designer pants, shirts, swimwear and accessories. In Canada, you can purchase Timoteo underwear at Priape stores located in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal, or for the full collection, order direct from Timoteo using the online store.

About Timoteo Ocampo:

Timoteo is based in Los Angeles, California. He studied at California State University and received a Bachelor’s degree in Art with an option in Fashion Design.

Timoteo opened his men’s specialty retail store in West Hollywood, California in October of 2001. Carrying a variety of clothing lines, as well as his eponymous label consisting of denim, dress shirts, t-shirts, and accessories, gave him the opportunity to bring in an eclectic fashion forward selection to his customers.

In 2006, swimwear was added to the collection and finally underwear in 2008.  2010 saw the launch of Timoteo’s newest underwear collection, Sport. The line recognizes great fashion but also understands that style, fit, and comfort are the key to its success.

When he’s not at work, Timoteo enjoys surfing and indoor & beach volleyball, which has, both of which have contributed to the inspiration of his swimwear collection.
