The Polytechnic Marathon, often called the Poly, was a marathon held annually between 1909 and 1996, over various courses in or near London. It was the first marathon to be run regularly over the distance of 26 miles, 385 yards which is now the global standard. A total of eight world marathon bests were set in the Poly, including the first authenticated time under 2 hours, 20 minutes which had been regarded as the marathon equivalent of the four-minute mile. At the time of its demise in 1996, the Poly was Europe's oldest regular marathon. It had seen more world records and had been run over 42.195 kilometres (26.219 mi) more often than any other marathon.

  • Der Polytechnic Marathon (umgangssprachlich The Poly, mit vollem Namen Polytechnic Harriers Marathon) war ein Marathonlauf, der von 1909 bis 1996 in England auf einer Strecke zwischen Windsor und London ausgetragen wurde, wobei das Ziel über die Jahre variierte. Nach dem Boston-Marathon und dem Yonkers-Marathon ist er weltweit der drittälteste über einen längeren Zeitraum regelmäßig durchgeführte Marathonlauf. Er zählt mit 78 offiziellen Veranstaltungen zu den fünf weltweit häufigsten Marathonveranstaltungen. Bis in die Gegenwart wurden bei keinem anderen Marathon mehr Weltbestzeiten erzielt. (de)
