The marathon was invented for the 1896 Olympics, and has been contested at all Olympics since. Generally, in the Summer Olympics, the women's marathon marks the midway point of the games, while the men's marathon is the final event and is incorporated into the Closing Ceremonies. The distance of the marathon at the Olympics has varied in the early years, before being standardized at 42,195 m in 1924, the distance that was run at the 1908 Olympics. In other years, the distances have been:

1896: 40,000 m (approximately)
1900: 40,260 m (25.02 mi)
1904: 40,000 m (24.85 mi)
1912: 40,200 m (24.98 mi)
1920: 40,750 m (25.32 mi)

^ The IOC attributes Théato's medal to France, despite later sources finding that his nationality was Luxembourgish.
^ Coray is described in the 1904 Games report as a "Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association", but the IOC attributes his medal to the United States.
^ ^a ^b Both Sohn Kee-chung (Son Kitei) and Nam Sung-yong (Nan Shoryu) were from Korea. The IOC attributes both medals to Japan due to Korea being a Japanese colony at the time. All Korean Olympians during the Japanese colonial rule could only participate in the games as a representative of Japan and had to compete with Japanese names instead of their original Korean names. However, some sources still refer Son Kitei as the first Korean to win an Olympic marathon today.
