Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai won the Boston Marathon with the fastest time ever recorded for the 26.2-mile race: two hours, three minutes and two seconds. That’s an average speed of 4.69 minutes per mile. As the race had a strong tailwind on a downhill course, the time is not recognized by track’s international governing body as a record.
