No other major sport goes on for 4 or 5 hours.

Depending on format, Cricket matches can be very long. Like average 7.5 hours a day over 5 days for test matches. Or, if you just want a one day international 7.5 -8 hours.
Lemans is a pretty big deal and is 24 hours.
It's not popular now, but in the 20's-30's six day bike racing was one of the biggest sports around. Stars were paid much more than baseball players. (In case you got bored, those took.... 6 days.
)
The Reno air races take an entire week.
Those are or were major sports. And take a long time.
