Mount Marathon or Marathon Mountain is a mountain directly west of Seward in the Kenai Mountains of Alaska.
The mountain actually derives its name from the ever-popular Mount Marathon Race held every Fourth of July.

the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
