The race is named after a legendary runner in an ancient battle who traveled from Marathon to Athens to announce that the Greeks had successfully defended the town of Marathon against the (far larger) Persian army. A true marathon is a footrace of 26 miles and 385 yards in length. The term marathon is often used to describe any race or event that lasts a long time and requires endurance such as a dance marathon. The suffix "athlon" (note the "L") comes from the same root as "athlete" and describes an athletic event. A combination of multiple events will have a numeric prefix to describe the number of events, as described above. This is a different root word from "Marathon" which is named after a place.
