Real quick guess, 'cuz I really wanna find the answer to question 80. But is it the marathon?

Your really quick guess was right, Kim !
The brave Athenian herald was Pheidippides, who ran 40 km (26 miles) from the battlefield to Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon and died on the spot.
Modern sporting event, marathon, was inspired by this story.
