What are modern races named for?
Most modern marathons have 3-part names: Lead Sponsor + Location + "Marathon." There are, of course, many exceptions. The Marine Corps Marathon and US Air Force Marathon omit location (Washington, DC and Dayton, OH, respectively); the sponsors of some of the largest races get marginalized in common usage - (Bank of America) Chicago Marathon, and the Boston Marathon (associated with John Hancock and the Boston Athletic Association); then there are the unusual ones -- Cincinatti's "Flying Pig Marathon" comes to mind. The word "Marathon" itself was resurrected by Michel Bréal and Pierre de Coubertin in their search for a "larger than life" capstone event for the Modern Olympics, beginning Athens, Greece in 1896. They envisioned a long-distance footrace, recreating the legendary run of Phidippides in 490 BCE from the plains of Marathon to Athens, where he announced the victory of Greek troops over a much larger force of invading Spartans. Phidippides supposedly collapsed and died after delivering his message, but that detail is not supported by documentation of the day.
