Celebrity Marathon Times
Famous people who ran a marathon, ranked by finish time. Every time is linked to proof.
Updated September 2026. Made by Roast My Strava.
64 actors, musicians, athletes, creators and public figures who finished a marathon, ranked from fastest to slowest. The fastest on the list is Nick Bare, who ran 2:39:20 at the 2023 California International Marathon. At the other end, Dawko took 7:11:23 at the 2026 London Marathon, and still finished.
Every time links to where it comes from: the race's official results when we could find them, otherwise a reputable news report or the person's own post. Only full marathons count, and each person appears once, with the fastest time we could verify.

How do you know these times are right?
Every time has a link, so you can check it yourself. We use the race's official results when they exist, and a trusted news story or the runner's own post when they don't. If two sources don't agree, that person waits until they do.
Someone is missing, or a time is wrong?
Message Jason with a link to the result and it gets added or fixed.
Is this connected to the runners or the races?
No. It is an independent list made by Roast My Strava from public results. None of the people here are connected to the app.
