Abstract
Marathons are one of the ultimate challenges of human endeavor. In this paper, we apply extreme value statistics to predict fastest marathon times achievable for ten marathons around the world and for both men and women. We concentrate on the theoretical minimum time for each gender at each venue, irrespective of who runs there. Thus, we measure the potential of each marathon, not the actual performance of the runners.
