What sports events in our time are reminiscent of the runner who brought the news of the Marathon victory to Athens?

Today, such a sporting event is called the Marathon, which is 42 kilometers long. It is known that during the Greco-Persian war, a major battle took place near the settlement of Marathon. There, for the first time, the Greeks were able to inflict a serious defeat on the Persian troops. In order to inform Athens of the good news, a runner was sent there, who ran a distance of 42 km. True, at the moment historians say that the ancient Greeks were mistaken, because in fact the distance from Marathon to Athens is more than 200 km.
