The Origins of the Marathon lies with a Greek soldier called Pheidippides. After the Battle of Marathon (it's namesake), he ran as a messenger to tell the people of Athens the Persians. It is believed he ran into the town, gave the message, collapsed and died after running the whole 26 mile distance
