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.

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.

Let’s encourage the youngest to stay active—be role models and show them what’s possible. Running with peers in the atmosphere of the Great Race, especially in this extraordinary year—the centenary of the marathon in Poland—is an unforgettable experience.

The results of the children’s races are measured with full professionalism using an electronic timing system. On this day, young athletes will feel like professional runners. Perhaps participating in these events will be the start of a beautiful sports journey.

We invite you to cheer on the youngest participants—enthusiastic, positive support from parents and loved ones, applause, and sharing in the excitement are all vital parts of the race experience!

We aim to highlight the benefits of being active—we want this day to be remembered as a pleasant experience, one they’ll look back on fondly. We hope your approach aligns with this vision!
