Just had to share with you what I found while looking through a box of old kits for some warm running gear...

(Yes, the year is 1989...it's my race bib from the Boston Marathon...didn't even know I had kept it. Did you notice the rusty safety pins? lol)

Wow!

My local running shop encourages people to bring their running numbers in to the shop. If they are 'worthy' they get posted on the running walk. I think your W202 deserves the whole wall to itself!
