In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), which perk increases sprint distance? Marathon increases sprint distance.
Marathon is a first-tier multiplayer perk in the 2009 Modern Warfare 2. Its standard effect lets a player sprint for a longer distance, making it useful for rushing objectives, escaping danger, or reaching power positions before opponents.
The perk’s Pro version removes the sprint limit entirely, allowing continuous sprinting. That upgrade made Marathon especially influential in aggressive classes and in game modes where quickly crossing the map mattered. Pairing it with Lightweight was a common speed-focused setup, although the two perks performed different jobs.
The other options describe separate abilities. Stopping Power increases bullet damage, Steady Aim improves accuracy when firing from the hip, and Lightweight increases movement speed. A common mix-up is calling Marathon a speed perk; it primarily changes sprint endurance, while Lightweight changes how quickly the character moves.
