I remember reading that a modern marathon actually refers to the entire Athenian army rushing back to Athens after the Battle of Marathon. They had received word that the Persians had arrived by sea or something...anyone know what the fuck I'm talking about?

"This was the march that inspired the French educationalist Michel Breal to propose a 'Marathon Race' for the 1896 Olympic Games, tracing the route taken by the Athenians from the battlefield to Athens." -Tom Holland, Persian Fire. The only source I have on hand.
