This is the great year for marathon running. No matter where you run a marathon, you are part of the great Marathon History&. Exactly 2500 years ago, 490BC, in September, a Greek messenger, Pheidippides, who ran from the village of Marathon to Athens to give the Athenians the great news that they defeated the invading Persians. Thats where marathon started. Anyone has more information about this Greek history to share? How it became the modern marathon?
