Der Marathonlauf (kurz Marathon genannt) ist eine auf Straßen oder Wegen ausgetragene sportliche Laufveranstaltung und zugleich die längste olympische Laufdisziplin in der Leichtathletik, deren Streckenlänge 1921 auf 42,195 Kilometer festgelegt wurde. Manche Läufe, insbesondere bei leichtathletischen Jahreshöhepunkten, führen zum Zieleinlauf ins Stadion, wo abschließend noch etwa eine Runde zu laufen ist. Bei Olympischen Spielen wird die Marathonstrecke seit 1896 von den Männern gelaufen – zunächst auf 25 Meilen, mithin etwa 40 Kilometer – und von Frauen seit 1984.
