Quick Summary

An ultramarathon is a footrace that is longer than a standard marathon. The term "ultramarathon" was first used in 1964. While a marathon is a specific distance of 42,195 meters (26 miles 385 yards), ultramarathons can be based on a set distance or a time period, such as a 12-hour race. Ultramarathons are not Olympic or World Athletics events.12
