04/18/2011Kenya’s Mutai Wins Boston in 2:03:02BOSTON (AP) — Kenya's Geoffrey Mutai won the Boston Marathon in 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds — the fastest anyone has ever run the 26.2 mile distance. The previous best of 2:03:59 was by Haile Gebrselassie in Berlin 2008.

But Mutai was almost three minutes better than the course record set just last year by Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot.
