Becayse marathons are relatively short distance.

We observe the same in ultracycling where Lael Wilcox is among the fastest.

The thing is traditionnally sports have been invented by men with charactetistics/rules that suited men first.

You also have to take into account that in any society influcenced by patriarcal and sexism schemes, it is logical that they ate simply more men participating. The base level of a group always increase with the participation and competitivity within that group.
