That's pretty impressive, but it must be noted:
a non-record-eligible time trial event
I think he ran alone behind a pace car under ideal conditions.

Still pretty damn impressive.

I do not see how that is possible. That's close to a 4-minute mile for 26 straight miles.

It's 4:34.6 per mile. Obviously, he was capable of this pace.

If there were white runners I mean.
If it makes you feel better, he had some white guys helping pace him.

Also noteworthy: A new world record for women (and this one counts):
Kenya's Brigid Kosgei destroys women's world record at Chicago Marathon
So Kenyans own both the men's and women's world records, if I'm not mistaken.
Kenya's Brigid Kosgei beat the women's marathon world record by more than a minute Sunday in winning the Chicago Marathon.
Let's just call it 134 minutes, or about 5 minutes, 7 seconds per mile. Put another way, that's an 11.73 mph pace.

I see that Peter Dinklage is on the list.
There's an exception for movie stars and rich guys of course.
