The mayor's office and the BAA announced the fastest man, woman and non-binary runners in today's Marathon: Miles Batty, an MGH orthopedic surgery resident from West Roxbury who finished in 2:25, Ariana Maida, a Dana-Farber physician's assistant from Jamaica Plain, who completed the course in 2:48:50 and Nonie Anderson, a BC Law School student from Brighton, whose time was 3:44:18.
Batty once ran a sub-4-minute mile, as an undergraduate at Brigham Young University.
However, the time for the fastest banana went to Matthew Seidel of Oakland, CA, who established a new Guinness record today for the fastest Marathon fruit, when he peeled out from Hopkinton to Back Bay while dressed in a banana suit in 2:35:38.
That's almost six minutes faster than the previous record for fastest fruit-based time in a Marathon, set in 2020 in Arizona, by a man also dressed as a banana.

Were there any bananas that couldn't finish the race and had to be picked up by a sweep bus? Did the bus operator call ahead to the finish line and inform them "I'm driving you bananas"?
What's the fastest non-bananary fruit time?
Do you mean fastest Bostonian runners?

Since that list doesn't include the race winners, am I correct in assuming the Mayor's office announcement is for the fastest runners from Boston?
Meanwhile, I guess Matthew Seidel is today's Top Banana.
Guinness is doling out records left and right!

Not that I'm plantaining.
They want to apeel to a broader audience.

In the meantime, I think it's neat of the BAA to point out the fastest Bostonians in a popular event with a ton of participants from around the world, and for the Guiness folks to recognize the fastest banana.
One day, and I hope that day is soon

Every individual will be their own group or category and we will all be winners..../S
