Coinciding with Serbia's Youth Day, for years Tito's birthday was celebrated in the former Yugoslavia by having relay runners carry a baton for weeks, which was then given to the leader on the 25th.
S obzirom da se podudarao sa Danom mladosti, Titov rođendan se u bivšoj Jugoslaviji godinama proslavljao tako što su trkači nedeljama nosili štafetu, koja je lideru uručivana 25. maja.
