Although it could be argued that the original marathon, as far as the first to be run over 26 miles 385 yards is concerned, is a lot closer to home! Windsor Castle to White City!

Yeah, I can picture it:

Me: I just did the marathon a few months ago
Other person: Oh yes, the London marathon?
Me: No, THE marathon. From Marathon to Athens. But without the death, as you may have noticed.

Interesting. Presumably they now run Marathon to Athens via a route that covers modern Marathon distance and not the "original" Marathon-Athens route?
