The marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometers (26 miles and 385 yards), that is usually run as a road race. The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens.
Marathon has a lot of type, like running, bicycle, wheelchair and so on.
The most marathon I like was "Color Run".
The Color Run is an event series and five kilometers paint race with 4 color include Pink, Orange, Blue, and Yellow that takes place in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The untamed event has no winners or prizes, but runners are showered with colored powder at stations along the run.
The most meaningful marathon was wheelchair marathon.
