Gold Leader Displays was founded by husband-and-wife team Jodi and Mike—blending a love of running, racing magic, and creative storytelling into every piece we design.

Mike is an avid runner who has completed runDisney races, local marathons, and even conquered both the Chicago and Boston marathons. Jodi, a designer at heart, started Gold Leader Displays as a way to support Mike’s running career—transforming medals from “just hanging around” into meaningful displays that celebrate every mile of the journey. While she occasionally joins in the fun at runDisney events, she’s just as happy on the sidelines, cheering and dreaming up designs that runners can treasure for years to come.

What began as a way to honor Mike’s accomplishments has grown into a passion project: creating unique, themed displays worthy of the hard-earned medals they represent. Whether it’s your first 5K or your next big race challenge, our goal is to help you showcase every victory in style.
