The marathon race is named after the ancient Greek city of Marathon. According to legend, a Greek soldier named Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver news of a military victory over the Persians in 490 BC. This legendary run inspired the modern marathon race, which was first held during the 1896 Athens Olympics. The distance of the race was standardized to 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers) in the early 20th century.
