"The marathon is a long-distance foot race with an official distance of 42.195kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards), that is usually run as a road race. The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon (the namesake of the race) to Athens. The historical accuracy of this legend is in doubt,[1] contradicted by accounts given byHerodotus, in particular.[2]
The marathon was one of the original modern Olympic events in 1896, though the distance did not become standardized until 1921. More than 800 major marathons are contested throughout the world each year, with the vast majority of competitors being recreational athletes. Larger marathons can have tens of thousands of participants."

This morning i saw a large of ........... student joined Marathon activity. Good . But then, i wonder is it effecient marathon in KL for a student? Because i did saw majority of the student are not very serious running. Those at the back lane are just walk while chatting with their friend. So, im just wonder will they fnish their runs? or may be they wouldnt? From my point of view, this activity is very benefited. However, if there are to many involve in this runs probably some will be missing. I m sure some of them will not finish their runs. Then, how can the teacher ensure that all will be back safely if the participant is so many? For that reason, this marathon should not be do in Kl. especially near the town.
they are about to start
