About this template
Coaches, clubs and leagues reach for designs like this one when they want to honour players, finishers and teams: a clean Marathon Finisher Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. With scattered stars and League Gothic headings, it has a crisp feel, while the Electric Blue palette keeps the colours fresh. Change a few words and it doubles as a certificate of achievement.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Presented to [Name], Marathon Finisher, [Season]. [Goals] goals, [Assists] assists and endless energy.
For [Name]: most improved player of the year, chosen by the coaches of [Club].
Congratulations to [Team], [League] champions [Year].
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, full marathon, finish time and distance and the signatures. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Prefer another look? Switch to the Race Orange or Trail Green colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
A smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
