The meaning of marathon

Marathon originated from ancient Greek legends. According to legend, in 490 BC, Philippos, a Greek soldier, ran for about 40 kilometers, telling people the news of the victory of the Battle of Athens, and then fell to the ground exhausted and died. Modern marathon is developed on this basis, which contains the spirit of perseverance and hard struggle.

Marathon is not only a speed race, but also a challenge to your willpower and endurance. Participants need to maintain a positive attitude and perseverance in long-term continuous running, overcome fatigue and difficulties, and finally cross the finish line. Therefore, the marathon spirit emphasizes the quality of persistence, hard work and never giving up, not just the speed of sprint.
