After winning the battle of Marathon against the Persian infantry, the Athenians realised that the Persian cavalry was being rowed to Athens to attack it in their absence. They ran back the 26 miles to protect the city, arriving just in time.
Today's marathon run duplicates that run, however today's runners do it in good footwear and light clothes. The Greek infantry in sandals with armour and weapons dit it tougher.
