It commemorates the legendary feat of Greek solider who, in 490 B.C. is supposed to have run Marathon to Athens, a distance of about 40 Km. (25 miles) to bring news of the Athenian victory over the Persians before dying of exhaustion / A current example of this legend is a statement made to me by the Great Irish miler Eamon Couglin in talking about a particular race he competed in: "He was leading for 2 1/2 miles on the last lap he died". / Great WAITZ - Fred - LEBOW running over to see poster. / Beauty of speed - Today's Fast Girls. / Mary DECKER & Evelyn ASHFORD, the class of the fast and the swift.]
