Maraton na Olimpijskim igrama

Muškarci

Osvajači olimpijskih medalja u atletskoj disciplini maraton nisu na svima OI trčali točno jednaku duljinu staze. Duljina maratonske staze je varirala dok se nije ustalila, na Olimpijskim igrama 1924. godine u Parizu, na sadašnjih 42.195 m:

• 1896: 40,000 m (otprilike)
• 1900: 40,260 m
• 1904: 40,000 m
• 1906: 41,860 m
