For your grandpa who enjoys marathon running, a meaningful and personal gift that showcases your support and appreciation for his passion would be perfect. Here are some thoughtful gift ideas that he would surely appreciate:

1. Customized Marathon Medal Display: Help your grandpa proudly display his hard-earned marathon medals with a personalized medal display rack. You can have his name or a motivational quote engraved on it, making it a unique and special gift that he can cherish for years to come.

2. Marathon Training Journal: Encourage your grandpa to track his progress, set goals, and jot down his thoughts and experiences during his training sessions with a dedicated marathon running journal. Look for one that includes training tips, inspirational quotes, and blank spaces for him to record his achievements.

3. High-Quality Running Shoes: Every dedicated marathon runner needs a reliable and comfortable pair of running shoes. Research the best brands and models suited for long-distance running, and treat your grandpa to a high-quality pair that will keep his feet comfortable and protected during his training and race days.

4. Marathon Playlist: Curate a customized music playlist consisting of his favorite motivational tracks or songs that he enjoys listening to while running. You can create a personalized CD or compile the playlist on a USB drive, ensuring that he stays energized and motivated during his training sessions or races.

5. Marathon Photography Session: Contact a professional photographer who specializes in sports photography and arrange a marathon-themed photo session for your grandpa. Capture his determination and passion as he runs, and have these precious moments framed or made into a photo book, creating a lasting memory of his marathon journey.

6. Marathon Memorabilia: Search for vintage marathon posters, race memorabilia, or old marathon program books that showcase his favorite races. You could also get him a marathon race T-shirt, or even a signed book or autobiography of a famous marathon runner that he admires.

7. Massage or Spa Treatment: Running marathons can be physically demanding, and your grandpa deserves some pampering and relaxation after his intense training sessions. Treat him to a rejuvenating massage or a spa day, where he can unwind and soothe his muscles.

8. Marathon Documentary or Book: If your grandpa enjoys watching movies or reading, consider gifting him a documentary or a book about famous marathon runners or remarkable marathon races. This will provide him with inspiration, insight, and a deeper connection to his beloved sport.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your grandpa that you support and encourage his passion for marathon running. A personal and thoughtful gift that reflects his interest in running and acknowledges his dedication will surely warm his heart this Christmas.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
