Maratona
é o nome de uma corrida realizada na distância oficial de 42,195 km, normalmente em ruas e estradas. Única modalidade esportiva que se originou de uma lenda, seu nome foi instituído como uma homenagem à antiga lenda grega do soldado ateniense Fidípides, um mensageiro do exército de Atenas, que teria corrido cerca de 40 km entre o campo de batalha de Maratona até Atenas para avisar aos cidadãos da cidade da vitória dos exércitos atenienses contra os persas e morrido de exaustão após cumprir a missão.
Uma das mais longas, desgastantes e difíceis provas do atletismo, a maratona é, ininterruptamente, uma prova olímpica desde a primeira edição dos Jogos Olímpicos, em Atenas 1896.
A distância actual, foi percorrida pela primeira vez em Londres em 1908 mas, só se tornou oficial em 1921.
