The fastest marathon ever was run by Geoffrey Mutai(2:03:02) at the Boston Marathon on April 18, 2011. But because the legendary Boston course does not meet IAAF layout standards, the World Record belongs to Patrick Makau(2:03:38) recorded at the Berlin Marathon on September 25, 2011.

There is no time limit for completing a marathon. Sometimes people who are physically challenged in some way will take until after sunset to complete the race, just to prove to themselves that they can. The fastest time ever recorded for a marathon was just over 123 minutes at the 2011 Boston Marathon.
The fastest men's time recorded at London was run in 2011 by Emmanuel Mutai in a time of 2:04:40.
The IAAF regards Patrick Makau's 2:03:38 (Berlin 2011) to be the official men's World Record. However the fastest marathon ever (2:03:02) was run by Geoffrey Mutai (Boston 2011).
Fastest Time: 2:03:02 (Geoffrey Mutai, 18APR2011 in the Boston Marathon) *World Record: 2:03:38 (Patrick Makau, 25SEP2011 in the Berlin Marathon)* not recognized by the IAAF as a World Record because it was run on a course with a net elevation loss.
