Here is the history of how long marthons were, and are now:
1896 - 24.85 miles
1900 - 25.02 m
1904 - 24.85 m
1906 - 26.01 m
1908 - 26.22 m
1912 - 24.98 m
1920 - 26.56 m
And ever since 1924, they have been 26.22 miles, or 42.195 km long.
I hope this EXACT figure is what you were looking for.

26 miles 385 yards a 2inch so I was told but seems much further when running them.
Are you thinking of running one? you will need a good program to run too.
