Marathon Commercial Construction
In 490 B.C., a heavily-outnumbered force of Greek soldiers under Athenian General Miltiades repelled and defeated an invading Persian army at the Battle of Marathon, permanently altering the balance of power in the region. Following the battle, General Miltiades ordered Pheidippides, an Athenian herald, to run the twenty-six mile trek from Marathon to Athens with news of the triumph. With message and shield in hand, Pheidippides sprinted into the Greek capital proclaiming "Victory! Victory!". He then died of exhaustion.
General Miltiades was victorious because he planned and prepared thoroughly, used superior methods and possessed and unyielding commitment to success. Nearly 2,500 years later, we at Marathon Commercial Construction, L.L.C. share this ideology. Our adoption of the name "Marathon" is a statement of our corporate ethic as well as our intent to serve our clients with the highest and best caliber of commercial construction management attainable.
The image of the man in our logo is the statue of Pheidippides as seen northeast of Athens.
