'''Notes'''
* [[Eliud Kipchoge]] (Kenya) ran a time of 1:59:40.2 at the [[Ineos 1:59 Challenge]] in Vienna on 12 October 2019. This event was run with no other competitors and with the assistance of fuel and hydration on demand and in-out pacemakers. Therefore, the attempt was not eligible for official ratification.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kipchoge Breaks 2-Hour Barrier in Vienna|url=https://www.iaaf.org/news/report/eliud-kipchoge-breaks-two-hours-vienna|publisher=IAAF|author=Bob Ramsak|date=12 October 2019|access-date=13 October 2019}}</ref> This was faster than his previous assisted run of 2:00:25 at the [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] [[Breaking2]] in Monza on 6 May 2017, which was also ineligible.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kipchoge a 'happy man' in Monza|url=https://www.iaaf.org/news/report/breaking-2-marathon-eliud-kipchoge-monza|publisher=IAAF|author=Jon Mulkeen|date=6 May 2017|access-date=6 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170506110939/https://www.iaaf.org/news/report/breaking-2-marathon-eliud-kipchoge-monza|archive-date=6 May 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

* [[Geoffrey Mutai]] (Kenya) ran a time of 2:03:02 at the [[Boston Marathon]] on 18 April 2011 that was run on an assisted course (in the case of Boston, a point-to-point, net downhill course in excess of the standards) and is therefore ineligible for record purposes per IAAF rule 260.28
* [[Moses Mosop]] (Kenya) ran a time of 2:03:06 at the Boston Marathon on 18 April 2011 that was run on an assisted course and is therefore ineligible for record purposes per IAAF rule 260.28
