Metal Works brings a precision engraver to the finish line of Irish running events. Runners get their race time, name, and even a photo engraved onto their medal — printed on the spot, in minutes.
Metal Works is a 100% Irish, family-run business built around one idea: the medal a runner earns should carry more than a logo and a ribbon — it should carry the moment itself.
We travel to running events across Ireland — from local 5Ks to the Longford Half Marathon and the Dublin Marathon — and set up our stall right at the finish line. Using precision laser engraving equipment, we turn a standard finisher's medal into a personal keepsake, engraved while runners wait.
Our X-Tool precision engraver lets us do in minutes what used to take a jeweller days — sharp, permanent engraving of race times, names, and photos, straight onto the medal you already earned. No shipping, no waiting: you walk away with it that day.
No booking needed to use the stall — just cross the line and come find us.
Collect your finisher's medal as normal, then head to the Metal Works stall near the finish area.
Pick Bronze, Silver, or Gold depending on how much you want engraved — time only, time and name, or the full photo engrave.
We engrave on the spot while you wait. No shipping, no waiting days for it back in the post.
Every package is engraved directly onto your medal at the event. Images below are placeholders — real medal photos coming soon.
