How this list works
“Celebrity” here means someone famous mainly for something other than running — acting, music, sport, politics or media. Professional distance runners are listed separately and never mixed into celebrity rankings.
Each runner appears once, with their best recorded time. Rankings and counts update automatically as the database changes. Read our methodology for what Official, Reported and Unverified mean.
