Legend and a gift for British royalty
The inspiration for the marathon race comes from the legend of the Greek soldier Filipides, who ran from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory over the Persians in the year 490 before us.
Although the original distance that Filipides toured is estimated at around 40 kilometers, its deed inspired the creation of the marathon test in the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896.
The definitive change occurred in the 1908 London Olympic Games, when the 40 kilometers were modified so that the exit was in the Royal Castle of Windsor and the goal in front of the Royal Palco in the Olympic Stadium of the British capital.
