The Historical Roots of the Marathon

The marathon has its origins in an ancient Greek legend where a messenger ran approximately 25 miles from Marathon to Athens to report the victory at the Battle of Marathon. This story highlights the significance of endurance running in Greek culture and ultimately led to the establishment of the official marathon event. The first official marathon took place at the modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. Following that inaugural race, the Boston Marathon was created as an annual competition, influenced by the excitement surrounding the Olympic marathon.
