Marathon, Greece .
Addendum:
The supposed runner Pheidippides carrying the message was already dead, dying of exhaustion after running to Sparta and back over 100 miles.
The run was by the whole Athenian army after the battle as they realised that the Persians had sent another force to take Athens in their absence.
all 9,000 ran back the 26 miles, arriving just in time. It is after them that the modern race is nameed.
It was the Athenians and their allies, the Plataeans who did it.
It was the Battle of Marathon, which occurred in Greece, 490 BC. The coordinates are 38.1533° N, 23.9620° E.

Just so you know.
Miles is a measure of distance, and gallons is measure of liquid capacity. You cannot compare them.
The total distance is 25miles. The journey would take about 25 minutes.
The driving distance is 331 miles per MapQuest. The driving time per MapQuest is 5 hours and 35 minutes.
36 minutes if going at a constant rate. distance divided by rate (speed)=time it will take to travel.
25 miles = 40.2336 km
659miles/25miles = 26.36gallons*3.6dollars/gallon = 94.896 dollars.
1 hr 8 minutes.
The distance from Dover to Calais, across the English channel is 34Km (21miles). However the ferry travels a slightly longer route of about 41Km (25miles). It takes between 1H 10Mins to 1Hr 50Mins.
rate x time = distance 25mph x 1minute = distance UNITS MATTER NOW 25mph x 1hour/60= distance 25miles/60=distance 5miles/12=distance You travel 5/12 of a mile in 1 minute.
1200 ÷ 25 = 48 gallons
190e- 25miles per gallon 190d- 35 miles per gallon
Time = Distance/Speed = 196 km/25 miles per hour = 196 km/40.2336 km per hour = 4.8716 hours or 4 hours and 52.3 minutes (approx).
