NLB Ljubljana Marathon is in gold again

As last year, the NLB Ljubljana Marathon was awarded World Athletics Gold label this year as well. We joined only five (5) European road races (till now), and we are ranked among 41 marathons in the world with this sign.

Gold label races* correspond to strict international organizational criteria, which ensure an exceptional running experience and results at a pace dictated by selected top domestic and foreign runners. There is a special emphasis on the prevention of doping, and the international athletics federation also puts the sustainable aspects of the organization of mass events in the foreground.

*The World Athletics awards 4 marks to mark the quality of road running: label, elite, gold and platinum. The highest, platinum mark is carried by the largest and most recognizable marathons in the world, of which there are thirteen (London, Berlin, New York, Valencia...). The mark is not permanent, the appropriateness and fulfillment of the conditions for the selected mark are checked each time by independent assessors.
