Doubt that many people do. He ran 480 km, participated in the battle of Marathon and then ran ~42 km after and died.
Ran 480 km?
The wikipedia article is a little ambiguous on this.
My first interpretation was that the run from Athens to Sparta was 240km, and additionally he ran back to Athens which would be an extra 240km. Which would actually seem correct, as osm's route is about 217km one way.
