List of non-professional marathon runners
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a sortable table of notable people known for their accomplishments outside of long-distance running who have completed an organized marathon. For elite athletes and others known primarily for running marathons, see List of marathoners or Category:Long-distance runners. Some of these people have competed in more than one marathon or other running events.
This article lists the time and location of each person's fastest time in the marathon.
