Marathon

The men's world record is 2:03:38 and the women's world record is 2:15:25 minutes. In the 2007 Boston Marathon, the person that finished in 5,029th place ran the distance in 3:28:08. Many people run a marathon as a challenge and not as a competition with the other racers. Katie Holmes did it in 5 and a half hours. Some folks, soon to include Hamish Blake, take 6 or more hours or more to complete the marathon.

A brisk walk is about 4MPH, it would take 3hrs 18minutes at that pace.

6 k is about 3.6 miles and 1 hr and 5 min is 1.083 hours. So 3.6 miles divided by 1.083 hours is 3.33 mph

In the Boston Marathon, one of the most notable cheating incidents involved Rosie Ruiz in 1980. She crossed the finish line first but was later found to have taken the subway during the race, only emerging in the final stretch to claim victory.

Other instances of cheating in marathons have occurred, but Ruiz's case remains the most infamous.

4min 56sec. per km. To get: 3hours = 180min

180min +28min = 208min

208min x 60sec per min =12480sec

12480sec + 36sec = 12516sec total

12516sec /42.2km =296.58sec per km

296.58sec/60sec per min = 4.94min per km

.94min x 60sec per min = 56 sec.

So you get, 4min 56sec per km
