Epic achievements deserve to be immortalized. Live laser engraved marathon medals presented by Nike.
The Lowdown
What a finish, Chicago! The 2025 Chicago Marathon once again turned the Windy City into a global stage for endurance, passion, and triumph. And as thousands of runners crossed that iconic finish line, Nike kept the celebration alive at their Michigan Avenue store, where the energy was electric and the medals were about to get a serious upgrade.
Inside the pop-up, our live customization team was ready to turn hard-earned victories into timeless keepsakes. Using our fleet of precision on-site laser engravers, we etched each runner’s name and finishing time right onto their Chicago Marathon medal—immortalizing every step, every mile, every moment. The line stretched around the block as finishers proudly waited to see their achievements engraved in shining detail.
By the end of the weekend, thousands of medals had been transformed into personalized symbols of victory. It was a celebration of grit, glory, and the city that never stops running.
