Terry Fox ran about 23.4 miles per day. Almost a marathon(26 miles and 385yards)
I assume you mean the person who ran 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory won there by the Greeks. His name according to Herodotus was Pheidippides.
The person who ran 25 miles ran farther. Converting yards to miles, 450 yards is approximately 0.25 miles, so the person who ran 25 miles covered a greater distance.
