Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens.
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.

The modern sporting event named after the journey made by the messenger Pheidippides is the marathon. According to legend, Pheidippides ran approximately 26 miles from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory over the Persians. This inspiring feat was commemorated by the establishment of the marathon race in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The standard marathon distance of 26.2 miles was later formalized in 1921.
