According to legend, in 490 BCE, Pheidippides ran approximately 26 miles from the plains of Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory over the Persians. When he arrived, he shouted “We have won!” and then collapsed and died. Based on this legend, running the marathon was accepted as a sporting discipline in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. No fantasy, however, is the story behind the man who enabled women to run a marathon for the first time. Meet Dr. Ernst van Aaken (1910–1984), dedicated doctor and avid marathoner.
