Comment
This token was included in Slovakia's 2014 BU series.The Košice International Peace Marathon (Slovak: Medzinárodný maratón mieru) or MMM is the oldest marathon in Europe (since 1924) and the second oldest in the world after Boston. It has been run every year since 1924, except in 1938 and 1940 due to the political and military situation, and the marathons of 1939 and 1941 to 1944 took place without the participation of a single foreign runner.
