Over time there were more sports. They included running, boxing, wrestling, pankration (a combination of boxing and wrestling), pentathlon (running, wrestling, long jump, javelin and discus throwing) and equestrian sports (chariot race and riding).

The marathon is a 42km race. It was first run 2,500 years ago. In 490 BC there was a big war between the Persians and the Greeks. 10,000 Greek soldiers were on top of the hill. The Persian army, 48,000 soldiers, waited on the plain of Marathon below. Phidippides, a Greek messenger, ran 42 kilometres, 26 miles, from Marathon to Athens, to announce that the Greeks won. From this great event, the first marathon race of the modern Olympic Games was run in 1896. It was won by a Greek runner, Spiridon Louis.
