Who is a "marathoner"?

Marathoners train extensively to build endurance, speed, and strength to complete the race. The sport requires physical fitness, mental toughness, and discipline, as running such a long distance can be both physically and mentally challenging. Marathoners often participate in organized events, aiming to finish the race within a specific time or simply to achieve a personal goal. Many marathoners also run for charity or as part of a broader fitness routine.
