Design notes

On this wide page the race clock hangs from the top edge at the upper right, the finish time glowing red in its dark window. The rest reads like the results sheet: the runner's name as the header row over a strong rule, the event beside a short statement, four checked achievements, then a row of cells for distance, pace, place, category, issue date and credential ID. Two signatures and the QR code close the foot. A good fit for road races, club championships and corporate runs.

About

Marathon Certificate Template, Finish Clock Landscape

Race organisers give a finisher certificate to every runner who completes the course inside the cut-off, from a full 42.195 km city marathon to a half, a 10K or a 5K charity fun run. The numbers make it worth keeping: the chip time from start mat to finish mat, the pace per kilometre, the overall place and the age-group place, all taken from the official results and usually signed by the race director and the chief timekeeper.

Wording on the template“For running the full 42.195 km course, chip-timed from the start mat to the finish mat, and crossing the finish line inside the official cut-off. The finish time and the overall place stand in the race's official results.”

Post for the recipient to share

I finished my first marathon. 42.2 km, months of early mornings and one very long Sunday. Thank you to everyone who trained with me, sponsored me and stood at the roadside shouting my name. Here is my finisher certificate, and yes, I am already looking at next year's race. #Marathon #Running #FinishLine

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it on its side, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
