Everyone is the winner has been the motto of the Bratislava Marathon since 2014. It highlights the spirit of the event – every participant, regardless of whether they are children, marathon runner or still active seniors, is the winner because what counts is the willingness to push boundaries and step outside one’s comfort zone.
