Fastest Six‑Star Runners: Who Are the Top Five?

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?
