The Battle of Marathon and how it affects the world in 2015

Following the Battle of Marathon, legends say that Pheidippides (a Greek soldier) ran 25 miles to inform people in Athens about the news.

Later in 1908, the marathon was set at 25 miles, but extended to 26.2 miles because the English wanted the finish line to be in front of the Queen.

Since then, the marathon has always been 26.2 miles.
