Marathon is a thriving tourist
destination along U.S. 90 with distinctive hostelries,
restaurants,
shops and galleries related to its location
in the historic and picturesque Big Bend of West Texas. The area, and
Big
Bend National Park just 40 miles south of Marathon, was given the
name because it is defined by the
Rio Grande River's bend to the south, and then north again, as it
flows to the Gulf of Mexico.
