Thousands of people do what I did, every year...meaning they did it once and now they copy him every year.

Sure, just use the spoiler tag under the "Others" button so if you don't want to know you don't have to.

I haven't looked, and it's probably not the right answer, but John Kelley (The Elder) fits. He ran Boston 61 times, winning twice.

Naaaa...The answer is Pheidippides -
The marathon was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run by Pheidippides, the Greek soldier who was a messenger from the Battle of Marathon (the namesake of the
race) to Athens.
