What is the official distance of running in a Marathon race?

  • (A) 22.4 miles
  • (B) 26.2 miles
  • (C) 20.5 miles
  • (D) 27.3 miles
A marathon covers 26.2 miles, or 42.195 kilometers. They set this distance back in 1908 during the London Olympics, so the route stretched from Windsor Castle to the Olympic Stadium. The original marathon story comes from the run of Pheidippides, a Greek soldier, but the distance wasn't always set—people used different lengths before settling on 26.2 miles. Now, that's the number everyone follows for marathons.
