Track/XC Spike Container

thingiverse

Anyone who ran track or cross country in high school will instantly recognize this shape, and for many, it will surely trigger flashbacks of racing through mud or around the oval. A lone spike caught my eye while cleaning out a cluttered space, so I created an exact replica, and decided to turn it into a container that works perfectly for storing small items like pills, tiny trinkets, or even old spikes from worn-out running shoes... The model in the image is the compact version, which can only hold a limited amount of anything, so if you plan to fill it up with a significant quantity, I recommend opting for the larger size. The small one makes an excellent coat hanger and comes with a modified body/base featuring a hole for a screw; the tiny cap doesn't need any adjustments either. Simply attach the bottom to a wall using a sturdy anchor, then screw in the cap. This unique gift idea would surely delight a runner in your life, and they'd likely smile at the sight of this often-overlooked yet iconic piece of running equipment.
