Didn't the original Marathon runner, Pheidippides, die of exhaustion soon after? Maybe the organizers were trying to recreate history as understood in their time.
Yeah but he ran like 130 miles, then fought in a battle, and then sprinted another 26 miles.
Which is wild cuz they definitely had horses, and it’s a story from the 1800s
