Pheidippides is the star of Marathon history. Pheidippides was a Greek
messenger in the battlefield of Greek and Persian marathon. When Greeks
defeated to Persian and got victory over Persian Pheidippides was sent to
Athens from the battlefield to announce the news of victory. He ran out on
marathon and completed the distance of 42.195 kilometres. At that time there
were no any safety measures to run like shoes and like other comfortable
equipments. When Pheidippides reached to Athens and as soon as delivered the
news of victory he died soon. This event had been took place in August or September, 490 BC.
After that Pheidippides has
given the title of first marathon runner. Now marathon race is included in
every national and international game as an integral part. Everest marathon is
internationally recognised race in Nepal which is being organised very year.
