Abstract
2:02:57
That is the current world marathon record for men. Since 1960, the record has fallen regularly and the 2 h mark is now talked about as a target rather than a barrier. African distance runners have repeatedly lowered this record, especially in the past decade. Among the 100 fastest marathon times ever, 99 are by African-born athletes.
