Marathons are set at 42.195 kilometers (26.2 miles) because the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) officially adopted that in 1921. After nearly 25 years of marathons stretching varying lengths, the 26.2-mile distance from the 1908 London Olympics was chosen as the standard.

@Farhan Rana, you round it off to 26 miles it makes the distance in KM as 41.8km but actual full marathon race in kilo meters is 42.19 km. Sometimes MCQs can be asked with some trick, So better to make it actual figure. Thanks
