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.
Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or marathon:
“My name shall mount upon Eternitie.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
“The mountains look on Marathon—
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone,
I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
For standing on the Persians’ grave,
I could not deem myself a slave.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
