This article lists the time and location of each person's fastest time in the marathon.

Notes

Eddie Izzard ran the equivalent of 43 marathons in 51 days in 2009, though none of these was an organized marathon.[54]

In 2007, Hamish Blake reportedly ran the length of a marathon around a track in Melbourne, "in an attempt to beat Katie Holmes's marathon time. He succeeded, in a time of 5:25:00."[55]

Joe Strummer guitarist and lead vocalist for punk band the Clash, claimed to have run the Paris Marathon in 1982; no records exist of his attempt or finish.[56]
