Personalized Runner Tumbler — Best for a training-day gift
Reach for this $26 tumbler when you want a gift the runner uses at every practice. It's a 30oz insulated tumbler with a mountain-runner "hydration tracker" theme, engraved with the athlete's name so it doesn't get mixed up in a pile of team bottles. The laser mark is permanent and dishwasher-friendly, unlike a printed decal that peels after a season. Distance kids in particular live out of a big tumbler, so this earns its keep. Our most-gifted track item outside the holiday ornaments.
Personalized Track & Field Ornament — Best for the holidays
This $20 engraved wood ornament is the seasonal pick — a custom runner ornament for track athletes, sprinters, and coaches to hang at Christmas. We engrave the athlete's name and year so it becomes a keepsake that comes back out every December, marking the season they ran. It's a small, affordable gift that lands with families more than its price suggests, especially for a senior's final year. Coaches love getting one from the team. Order early in the holiday run — December is our busiest window for these.
Personalized Discus Thrower Tumbler — Best for throwers and field-event athletes
Track isn't just runners, and this $26 tumbler is for the throwers who usually get overlooked. It's a custom track-and-field gift with a discus-thrower design, engraved with the athlete's name and doubling as a team-award tumbler. Field-event kids appreciate a gift that actually reflects what they do instead of a generic running graphic. Same insulated build and permanent engraving as our runner tumbler. Buy it for the shot-put and discus crew, or as an MVP-of-field-events award at the banquet.
Track Award Trophy — Best for the season MVP
This is the headline award at $38 — the trophy you hand the season's standout. It's a personalized, custom-engraved track and field trophy with a champion name plate carrying the athlete's name, event, and season. It's the tallest-presence, most formal option here, built to anchor the awards table at a banquet. Reach for it when one runner deserves to stand out from the rest of the team's awards. You'll approve the engraving proof by email before we cut, so the name and event are exactly right.
Track Trophy — Best mid-range individual running award
At $26, this trophy is the middle ground between the budget team trophies and the premium MVP award. It's a personalized running award with a custom-engraved name plate — a solid choice for handing out two or three individual honors (fastest 400, most improved distance, team captain) without spending banquet money on each. It reads as a real trophy from across the room and keeps the engraving permanent. We cut a lot of these for teams recognizing several athletes at once rather than a single MVP.
Track & Field Trophy — Best budget team award
This $20 trophy is the value pick for covering a whole team. It's a laser-engraved track and field achievement award, personalized with the athlete's name, and cheap enough to buy in quantity so every kid on the roster gets one. Rec leagues, middle-school teams, and youth clubs use these as the standard team trophy. The engraving is permanent and the look is clean and classic. Pair a full set of these with one $38 MVP award and you've built a complete banquet without overspending.
Running Competition Trophy — Best for a meet or competition prize
Use this $20 trophy as the prize at a meet or running competition. It's a personalized award with a custom-engraved nameplate built around a running-competition theme, so it fits an invitational, a time-trial, or an intramural race. It's affordable enough to award multiple places (1st, 2nd, 3rd) or every event winner at a small meet. The permanent nameplate means the winner's name and result stay legible for years. A dependable, no-frills option when you need several identical trophies for a competition.
Holographic GPS Caution Decal — Best novelty add-on for the runner "always being tracked"
This is the wildcard of the list — a holographic GPS caution/warning decal for cars, priced $4–$130 depending on the quantity tier you pick. It's genuinely a security-style vehicle sticker, but it makes a fun, cheap stocking-stuffer or gag gift for the runner whose parents joke about "tracking" their mileage. The holographic finish looks sharp on a water bottle, laptop, or car window. Grab a single one for a few dollars as a lighthearted extra, or the bulk tiers if you actually want the security decals. Honest heads-up: it's a novelty here, not a track award.
How to choose a track team gift
Holiday gift or end-of-season award — which do you need?
Match it to the calendar. If you're shopping December, the $20 track ornament is the keepsake that reappears every Christmas. If it's the spring or fall banquet, go to the trophies ($20–$38). Tumblers ($26) split the difference — useful all season and giftable any time of year. Buying for a senior? An ornament plus an MVP trophy covers both the holiday and the send-off.
How much should you spend per athlete?
For the whole team, $16–$26 per athlete covers an ornament or tumbler everyone will use. Save the $38 MVP trophy for one or two standouts so it stays special. If the team is large, the $20 trophies and $4 novelty decals keep the per-head cost down while still giving each kid something with their name on it.
Do runners and throwers want the same gift?
Not always — that's why we split the tumblers. Distance runners and sprinters connect with the mountain-runner design; throwers appreciate the discus tumbler that reflects their event. Field-event athletes are used to being an afterthought, so a gift that matches what they actually do lands harder. When ordering for a full squad, mix the two tumbler styles by event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get track ornaments engraved in time for Christmas?
Yes, if you order early. Most orders are made within 1–3 business days, then shipped, and December is our peak season for ornaments. We email a digital proof for approval before engraving, so order by early-to-mid December and choose expedited shipping if it's close. Email deals@woodunlimited.org to confirm a holiday deadline.
What personalization can I add to a runner tumbler or trophy?
Send the athlete's name, and optionally their event, team, or year. We engrave it verbatim and email a proof so you can confirm spelling and spacing before we cut. Names keep team tumblers from getting mixed up at practice, and event details make a trophy feel earned rather than generic. Type it exactly how you want it to read.
Can I order matching trophies for the whole track team?
Yes. Order the same trophy model for every athlete and we engrave each with the individual name and event while keeping the bodies identical, so they photograph as a set. The $20 track trophies are the usual choice for full-team sets. For large quantities, email deals@woodunlimited.org for volume pricing and a confirmed timeline.
Is the GPS decal an actual security sticker or just a gift?
It's a real holographic GPS caution/warning decal for vehicles, priced $4–$130 across quantity tiers. We list it here as a fun, low-cost novelty for track families, but it functions as an actual car security-style sticker. Buy a single one as a stocking stuffer, or a bulk tier if you want the decals for their intended purpose.
Do you offer team or bulk pricing for track awards?
Yes. There's no minimum — order one gift or a full roster of tumblers, ornaments, and trophies. For team quantities, email deals@woodunlimited.org before checkout for volume pricing. Free US shipping applies to orders $99+, which most full-team orders clear.
