He was already dead, having run to Sparta to summon them to the battle, dying on his return from a 120 mile run.In fact the news of the battle at Marathon was brought by the whole 9000 Athenian warriors who ran back to Athens after the battle to ward off a seaborne attack on the city in their absence.

No because elephants move to slow and to big.Another view:The bigness was the very reason that elephants came to be used - they were the battle tanks of the olden era.The reason they were not used at Thermopylai was that neither the Greek nor Persians had adopted their use at that stage - they came into common use a couple of centuries later.
There is no official term. The nearest you could get would be "bikeathon" and to be roughly equivalent to a marathon, it would need to be at least 100 miles or 160km. A marathon is a running race, named after the distance reputedly run after a battle in ancient Greece to deliver a message to Athens that the battle at marathon (25 miles/40kms away) had been won. The race was introduced for the first time at the modern olympics and then standardised to 26 miles & 385 yards (42.195km) after 1921. The term marathon is often misappropriated to uses other than running, to indicate anything long or demanding of endurance. All of these other uses, including biking, have no standard definition and are slang or common usages. A bike marathon has no official name because there is no bike marathon distance.
