All marathons are 26 miles plus 385 yards (42.195 Km) in length and most serious distance runners complete them without stopping, although they may slow down to grab a beverage along the route. Elite runners train to pick up and drink from a cup without breaking stride.
In the early Olympic events the distance wasn't fixed, just a convenient distance of about 25 miles. This made year-to-year record times impossible to fairly track. In the 1920 Olympics the marathon was 26.56 miles long, the longest distance for an Olympic marathon. From 1924 onward the distance has been 26 miles plus 385 yards which was the distance of the 1908 London Olympics and it has been fixed at that distance since 1924.
Many people mistakenly use the word "Marathon" to mean a footrace or a long footrace. This is not correct. The term "Marathon" actually refers to a footrace of the fixed distance 26 miles and 385 yards.
