B Correct answer
Explanation

The marathon is the longest running race in the Olympic Games at 42.195 kilometers (26.2 miles). It commemorates the legendary run of Pheidippides from Marathon to Athens. Relay races are shorter and involve teams, 5000m is much shorter, and 'City Run' is not an Olympic event.
