Runner 1 wooden silhouette for crafting – 5 to 50 cm

The certificates for the club run are ready. The tables for the awards evening are set. Now you just need the motif that ties it all together. This wooden sprinter silhouette is made for exactly that. It shows a clear, dynamic runner that you can paint, decorate or simply use as it is. Your decorations for a marathon, fun run or club party get a motif that everyone recognises straight away.

What changes for you

• You design certificates, gift tags or table decorations with the runner silhouette as a clear shape. It works on its own, without much extra decoration.
• You can start painting, gluing or oiling right away. The plywood is untreated and takes paint and glue well.
• You will find the right size for every project. Choose from 5 cm for a gift tag up to 50 cm for the wall of the clubhouse, in 1 cm steps.
• You save yourself the sawing and sanding. The silhouette is laser-cut and arrives with smooth edges.
• You can plan larger activities without stress. Think of crafting with children at the club or decorating a whole finish area. Sets with up to 100 pieces make it easy.

Why this runner silhouette makes a difference in everyday life

A running event is all about the small details. The tag on the medal, the motif on the certificate, the figure on the table at the awards ceremony. The wooden runner gives all of these a shared look. Your guests, club members or children can see at a glance what it's all about. You recognise the motif straight away. From the medal to the table decorations, the same image runs through your whole event.

Material & finish

The silhouette is made from 3 mm plywood and laser-cut. This gives it smooth edges and the typical brown rim, which draws a fine outline around the motif. The wood is left natural, so it is neither varnished nor glazed. You can paint, oil or decorate it however you like. As a natural material, every piece shows its own grain and varies in shade. Small knots are possible. This is not a flaw – it is what makes each piece one of a kind. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the runner silhouette

• At the club's sports awards: put a runner at every place as table decoration. Even before the first speech, it's clear who is being celebrated today.
• For a marathon or fun run: use it as a gift tag on presents for helpers and finishers. A small gesture that people remember.
• On certificates: glued on or tucked in, the silhouette turns a sheet of paper into a real award.
• Crafting with children: each child paints their own runner. At the end, they take home a keepsake they made themselves.
• For a café, sports shop or clubhouse: in the shop window or on the counter, the motif announces the running event. You don't need elaborate decorations.

Good to know about the marathon

The marathon takes its name from the legend of a messenger in ancient Greece. He is said to have run from the town of Marathon to Athens to announce a victory. That is why the figure of a runner still stands for endurance, effort and reaching the finish line. It suits awards ceremonies, club anniversaries and gifts for runners.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. The untreated plywood stays in good condition for a long time if you store it dry and keep it away from constant moisture. Want to protect the surface or add colour? Simply paint or oil it. That way your runner keeps its shape and look over many events.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the silhouette? Yes. The wood is untreated. You can paint it, oil it, glue things to it or decorate it in other ways – ideal for crafts and decorating.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The silhouette is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim along the edges. It is part of the process and gives a clear outline.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is identical, but the wood is not. As a natural material, it varies in shade and may show fine textures or small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Are larger quantities available for clubs or events? Yes. Besides single pieces, there are sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. They are handy for certificates, gift tags or decorating an entire race.

A wooden cutout is a small thing. What counts is the moment when the club's runner holds her certificate with the little runner in her hand. She notices that someone has put thought into it. Simply choose the size and quantity that suit your occasion.
