Apart from being the word for an endurance performance of any kind, Marathon is also a village close to Athens.
Anyway, the Athenians won that battle and lost very few of their men (just 192) thanks to an intelligent strategy, and sent a messenger to Athens to inform the leaders of the victory. According to legend, that runner, Pheidippides, collapsed just after announcing victory. The distance between Marathon and Athens is around 40 kilometer, and the current odd distance of 42.195 kilometers has been established as the official distance for a marathon after the London Olympics. The start was at Windsor Castle and the finish line was drawn in front of the Royal Box.
