Some runners race for hours, covering a super long distance of over 26 miles without stopping.
A marathon is a long-distance running race covering 26.2 miles, testing a runner's endurance far more than their raw speed over a single quick burst.
A sprint is the opposite — a very short, super-fast race — and a relay involves a team of runners passing a baton, not one person running the whole distance alone.
The marathon's odd distance comes from ancient Greek history and the 1908 London Olympics, where organizers stretched the course slightly so it would finish right in front of the royal box!
