Soldier of Marathon
NATIONAL TROPHY RIFLE TEAM MATCH
The Soldier of Marathon Trophy has been in shooting competitions since 1875. The NRA presented it to the United States Government for competitions in the National Trophy Rifle Team Match in 1903. This oldest NBPRP trophy is a bronze figure of the runner, Pheidippides, who though exhausted and fallen to a reclining position, still holds high the torch he is carrying to announce the Greek victory at Marathon.
