English term or phrase: distinction
Your Royal Highness, The distinction, which the Marathon Race is called upon to give to the Olympic Games, joined to the ancient reminiscences, which this difficult race is sure to awake, have suggested to me the idea of offering as a most appropriate prize to the winner, who will be worthy of so much glory, an ancient vase, which I have in my collection; on it are represented a dolichodrome under the guidance of Hellanodices.


Из истории Олимпийского спорта, Олимпийские игры 1896 г. в Афинах.
Марафонский забег, как совершенно новый вид состязаний, впервые включен в программу Олимпийских игр
Текст, вероятнее всего, в переводе с греческого

качество (возвышающего) отличия


Explanation:
Yes, it's obviously a translated text. The point is that the marathon, probably because it's a key symbolic event originating, like the games themselves, in ancient Greece (but also, possibly, because of the race's sheer length/magnitude), help establish the weight, import and seriousness of the games
