A sprint is a short running race at speed. A marathon is a long distance running race, when stamina is more important that sprinting. Whichever race a competitor takes part in, the goal is to win. Therefore, the answer is the marathon.

Why does a 100 meter sprinter need flexibility?
Sprinters use muscular strength/ power to get a good powerful and strong start from the starting blocks and also to sprint as hard as they can as usually sprinters cover a relatively short distance (100/200m). sprinting is also an anaerobic activity, if aerobic (such as marathon running) then muscular ENDURANCE would be required instead of muscular STRENGTH. However, when marathon running anaerobic respiration is needed as a final sprint towards the finish line.

What is a bike marathon called?
There is no official term. The nearest you could get would be "bikeathon" and to be roughly equivalent to a marathon, it would need to be at least 100 miles or 160km. A marathon is a running race, named after the distance reputedly run after a battle in ancient Greece to deliver a message to Athens that the battle at marathon (25 miles/40kms away) had been won. The race was introduced for the first time at the modern olympics and then standardised to 26 miles & 385 yards (42.195km) after 1921. The term marathon is often misappropriated to uses other than running, to indicate anything long or demanding of endurance. All of these other uses, including biking, have no standard definition and are slang or common usages. A bike marathon has no official name because there is no bike marathon distance.
Would sprint charge you if someone calls you out of state?
If you have a Sprint cellphone, you will pay for an incoming call if you exceed the allowed included minutes in your calling plan, but that charge does not depend on where the call originates. If you have Sprint long distance service on your landline, you will not pay for incoming calls, unless you accept a collect call.
What unit would you use to measure time to run a race?
The answer depends on the distance. Marathons are measured in hours and minutes, sprint distances in hundredths of a second.
