About this template
If you need to honour players, finishers and teams, this Half Marathon Finisher Certificate does it with a clean layout that race organisers, running clubs and gyms will recognise straight away. The colour scheme you see, Ember Night, is one of three built into the design, with a sunburst at the heart of the layout. It works just as well as a certificate of achievement or a certificate of participation.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
This certifies that [Name] has been promoted to [Belt or level] at [Club], [Date].
Presented to [Name], Half Marathon Finisher Certificate, [Season]. [Goals] goals, [Assists] assists and endless energy.
[Name] finished [Event] in [Time] on [Date]. Every step counted.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the kilometres, finish time and bib number fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. The design comes with three colour schemes (Dawn Road, Ember Night and Teal Dawn), and every single colour can be changed. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Alexandria.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
