We don't seem to know. There was sufficient time for them to fight a 'long drawn out battle' (Herodotos), fight over the departing Persian ships, and then reform and run in full armour the 26 miles over the hills to Athens in time to form up in front of the city to meet the Persian fleet which had rowed around the peninsula to land the cavalry to attack Athens with the expectation that the pro-Persian party inside would open the gates for them.
So it musta started pretty early. And try running the marathon loaded down with armour , shield and weapons, after already running a mile into battle in the first place and fighting for several hours. A tough lot. Today's marathon runners get it easy.
