Flotrack's Best of 2011 - Most Watched Interview! Video Interview- Ryan Hall finishes 4th at the 2011 Boston Marathon in a time of 2:04:58. Ryan Hall's time of 2:04:58 is 40 seconds faster than the current American Record of 2:05:38 held by Khalid Khannouchi from London back in 2004, however the course is not certified for American or International records.

Ryan Hall will look to run on the track for the 2011 track and field season this summer. The 2011 Boston Marathon was won by Geoffrey Mutai in a time of 2:03:02 which was faster than the World Record time of 2:03:59 held by Haile Gebrselassie.
