The exact distance of the marathon race is 26 miles and 385 yards or 42.195 kilometers which is the distance from the Battle of Marathon to Athens from which Greek Pheidippides ran to announce that the Persians had been defeated. In memory of this historic event of pure exertion, there are over 500 marathon races around the world, with this road race becoming an Olympic event in 1896. Marathon training is a long process and pushes your body to the limit requiring a lot of stamina for recreational athletes to keep running. The fastest time has been by a Kenyan runner and is 2 hours 3 minutes.

1/1/2017 - "At first I thought one of the ornaments was not in the shipment. I emailed shipping & customer service departments. Debbie from one of your departments called me, way after typical business hours, which told me she had been working late, yet it was important to her to help resolve the issue. She explained how the ornament is usually packed & suggested a few places to look. She told me how long she would be available to contact & gave me a phone number at which to reach her. Sure enough, the item was there. Debbie was very tactful in that she was sure the item was included, yet she wanted me to be happy & assured me she would make it right if, in fact, the ornament was missing. She did a great job protecting the company's bottom line AND its public image. Debby D."
