150 miles from Marathon to Sparta and going back to Athens.
Nowhere. Athens sent Pheidippides to run to Sparta to summon them to help fight the Persians. The 120 mile return trip killed him.
The historic 25-mile run of Pheidippides began at the Battle of Marathon, which took place in 490 BC. After the Greek forces achieved victory over the Persians, Pheidippides is said to have run from the battlefield to Athens to deliver news of the triumph. This legendary run is often cited as the inspiration for the modern marathon race.
Pheidippides was sent to run from Marathon to Athens in under 36 hours to announce that there had been a victory against the Persians. He died when arriving to Athens after delivering the message.
Pheidippides is pronounced as "fai-DIP-i-deez."
The battle of Marathon, Greece.
pheidippides was just about 35 when he died
Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens.
The Battle of Marathon. However Pheidippides was already dead at the time. He had been sent to Sparta to summon them to Marathon, a round trip of 120 miles. He died as a result of that run, and so was not available to go to Athens after the battle. After the battle, the Athenians realised there was an attack by sea on the city, and their army of 9,000 all ran back the 26 miles, getting there just in time to save the city. Sorry, no Pheidippides, but a whole army did the run which formed the basis of today's marathon run.

You're probably thinking of Pheidippides and his run from Marathon to Athens without stopping.
The modern Athens Marathon commemorates the run of the soldier Pheidippides from a battlefield at the site of the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C., bringing news of a Greek victory over the Persians. Legend has it that Pheidippides delivered the momentous message "Niki!" ("victory"), then collapsed and died, thereby setting a precedent for dramatic conclusions to the marathon.
