Aahhhh.... my imperialist mind converts this to 26 miles or thereabouts ! Marathon ! Nope, its got nothing to do with the run from the battle to Athens by Euripides or Socrates or whoever it was. When the Olympic games came to London the distance was measured from Windsor Castle to White City and that was how far they ran & that was the distance run in the Marathon ever since !
