A marathon is exactly 42.195 kilometers long. This distance corresponds to 26 miles and 385 yards (about 26.2 miles). This standardized length was established officially in 1921 after the 1908 London Olympics, where the race distance was extended for the royal family's viewing convenience. Since then, every official marathon covers 42.195 km.
