Greek History, Modern Olympics and the Military all have one thing in common - marathon running. A soldier, Pheidippides, completed the first marathon when he ran from a battlefield near the town of Marathon to Athens, Greece. Pheidippides covered approximately 26 miles to give the king the message - “niki’ (victory) - in the aftermath of a successful battle with the Persians. This is how the 26.2-mile race that we today refer to as a Marathon got its official name.
