The idea of the medal animation was the 20th anniversary of the Poznań Marathon. The small elements and particles that make up the medal symbolize each year of the marathon and each runner. The medal's lanyard is printed with historical photos from all Poznan marathon editions arranged in chronological order and has a quote "I left footprint in Poznan". The reverse of the medal is dedicated to Maciej Frankiewicz, the president of the City of Poznan, who is the creator and patron of the Poznan Marathon.

Since the very beginning of its existence, the Poznań Marathon has been ranked first among the greatest marathons in Poland and Eastern European marathons. The race attracts runners, whose ambitious goals and a strength to pursue their dreams, make them above average.
