Marathon is the Greek word for fennel, a native plant of Greece. I don't know of any person named after 'Marathon'...Prometheus used fennel to steal fire, perhaps thats who you're thinking of? These attributes contributed to the creation of the 'Marathon' race, as did the Battle of Marathon.There is a film called 'Marathon Man', but that does not imply his name as BEING 'marathon', nor does he start the first 'marathon'. See my source link for more on the film 'Marathon Man'.
I'm darned sure there isn't a specific PERSON named 'Marathon' involved in this. Otherwise one of us is quite misinformed, and I'm afraid to say that I think its you.
