Over 100 years ago, locket necklaces were popular, used to store one’s most cherished memories. They symbolized moments people wanted to hold onto forever. In honor of a special anniversary—100 years of marathons in Poland—the medal for the 46th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon is inspired by this keepsake.

When you slide open the two parts of the medal, you’ll find a space inside, just like in a locket. This is where you can engrave your race time or insert a photo from the finish line—anything that will remind you of this extraordinary marathon achievement.

We hope that the memory of this year’s Warsaw Marathon, celebrating 100 years of marathons in Poland, will be one of your most cherished.
