the marathon takes place because there used to be a man called pheidippides and he ran to Sparta there and back which was 2 kilometers there and back. they needed help for a war but they were in a festival so they couldn't come for ten days. they won the war but when he ran all the way back to Athens ( 1 mile ) he said they had won but he fell down and died by running tooooo much and that's why we do the marathon ( in favor of pheidippides. )
