Originally, way back, (but not all the way back to ancient Greece), the modern
marathon started out as a 25-mile race. But once upon a time a marathon was
extended slightly in order to make the runners pass the palace so the king could
look out and see them through his window, and that slightly-extended distance
became the standard marathon distance . . . . . 26 miles 385 yards, or 26.21875 miles.
