The runner you are referring to is the man who ran 26.1 miles. It was after the battle of Marathon. Sadly we do not know the name of the man, however the legend is that after the victory in Marathon, a Greek solider ran from Marathon to Rome to proclaim the news. The second he arrived, he told the king, and promptly died.
