| '''Marathon Man''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[achievement]], which is awarded for accessing all the [[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminals]] in [[campaign]] mode. The achievement is worth 40 [[Gamerscore]] and can be completed on any difficulty, or combination thereof. It is represented by a person with a ''[[Marathon]]'' symbol for a head, surrounded by a yellow circle and with [[seven]] yellow stars (representing the seven Terminals) above him. It is a reference to [[Bungie]]'s earlier ''Marathon'' games, in which [[terminal]]s were an integral part of the campaign levels: they functioned both for providing storyline, guiding the player, and transporting the player to the next level.

| After accessing terminal, the player must wait for the screen to go red then wait until the screen shows another text message and finally press A to scroll down to the very last message (a fragment from a [[Forerunner]] message) to show up for the terminal to count as unlocked and contribute to the achievement's progress.
