Sure, just use the spoiler tag under the "Others" button so if you don't want to know you don't have to.

Naaaa...The answer is Pheidippides -



The marathon was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run by Pheidippides, the Greek soldier who was a messenger from the Battle of Marathon (the namesake of the
