As of 2019, the IAAF now recognizes the road 5K for record purposes. I doubt there are many certified and record legal 5Ks today so where would this fall on the world leader list?

Do Parkruns count? Somebody ran a 14:38 this morning.
14:55 this morning in Lake ORIOn Michigan for RYAN Mahalsky.
You’re my hero, Hardloper!
It would need to be a sanctioned race on a certified course to get on the IAAF list.
Eliud Kipchoge posted on instagram that he started the new year with a run. So no.

Was the run a sub 15 5k? Fooking doubt it

He finishes the last 5k of his easy 15 milers in sub 14 minutes.

Thanks, that means a lot!
Can't tell what is and isn't IAAF sanctioned though
this thread is fine but I'm sure a pro has already hit a 14-flat tempo or something.
FYI strava has added a 5K Virtual Race to their monthly challenge. Michael Eaton of Seattle is currently #1 with an incorrect 14:37. Race result official time is 14:56 and his strava race analysis says 14:57. In other words, those challenges are fun but make sure to recheck the race analysis.
This year I will tempo a 18:00 5k on the track and start at 23:42:01 GMT on December 31, so I will finish at 1 second into the New Year and have the world lead for at least a few hours.

Not if I have anything to say about it
Good question then, by IAAF standards, does the race have to have been started and finished during the calendar year? Or just finished?
Wejo, these are the questions we need answers to, stop dreaming about Alberto.

It might not even be Kipchoge, but there are enough pros that consider a sub-15:00 5k easy that somebody has to have run much faster than 14:57 already. All it takes is one elite marathoner doing a Tuesday tempo workout and that's probably faster than 14:57 through 5k, not to mention if they did an LT 5k or something.

Workouts don't count, the question is what's the fastest verifiable race time of 2019
I’d like to think it counts, but doubt it ?
