The current marathon distance was set for the London Olympics in what year?

In 1908, the marathon distance was officially set to its current length during the London Olympics. This decision was made to accommodate the royal family's request to start the race at Windsor Castle and finish it in front of the royal box at the Olympic Stadium. As a result, the marathon distance was extended from its previous length of about 25 miles to 26.2 miles, allowing the race to end in front of the royal family.
