With Eliud Kipchoge completing his set of the six World Marathon Majors at the 2025 New York Marathon, he unsurprisingly tops the list of the fastest six-star runners, with an average finish time of 2:05:46 per race. Fellow Kenyan GEOFFREY KAMWOROR and EMMANUEL MUTAI take second and third.
Japan's Yuki Kawauchi is fourth; Italy's HERMANN ACHMÜLLER is fifth — he has represented Italy four times at the World Long Distance and Mountain Running Championships.
According to statistics after the 2025 London Marathon, China's fastest six-star runner is Li Yipeng, with an average finish time across the majors of 2:32:49.
Erenjia Jia ran Boston in 2:10:22 this year and Chicago in 2:22:52; his Berlin time in 2024 was 2:08:32, New York 2023 2:16:50, and London 2022 2:25:17 — only Tokyo remains to complete the six majors.
Erenjia Jia's current average finish time across the majors is 2:16:46. Could he become China's fastest six-star runner? Who do you favor?
Statistics from the World Marathon Majors show runners take on average 8 years and one month to complete all six races. How many of the six majors do you still need?
