A bit of trivia….

«The ultimate goal of competitive running is the marathon, which is defined as a run of 26 miles, 385 yards and has been since the Olympic games in London in 1904.  Before that, a run of anywhere from 25 to 28 miles was termed a marathon.  In 1904, the run was set up as a 26 mile one, until it became known that the Royal children wished to observe it, and then to accommodate them, the course had to be adjusted, and it came out to exactly 26 miles 385 yards, and that has been the official measure ever since. »
