I collapsed before I could finish the marathon. A marathon is a footrace of a certain distance because of some Roman guy that ran all the way from the city of Marathon, to Rome, then died on the spot. Don't let your meals become a marathon.
Marathon was a city-state. and it's 24 miles.
Considering that only about 500K people have ever run the Boston Marathon in over 115 years, the answer is not very many. If we're looking at just the US population, then that would be less than 0.2% of all Americans will run in the Boston Marathon. If we're looking at worldwide population, then it would be less than 0.0001% of the world will run in the Boston Marathon.
