Running Speeds in Track Events In 2008, Usain Bolt (Jamaica) set a world record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 9.69 seconds. If this pace could be maintained for an entire 26.2-mile marathon, how would that time compare with the fastest marathon time of 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 59 seconds, by Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia in 2008? (Hint: 1 meter ≈ 3.281 feet)
