I wouldn't think he's the fastest Clydesdale runner, but is anyone familiar with the British ex-rower, James Cracknell? He's about 40 years old, 6'4", 225 pounds (or so) and has run the London Marathon in 3 hours. Not bad for a older, big guy who is a NON-RUNNER!! (But he was a world-class rower, an Olympic gold medalist). By contrast, his rowing partner, Matthew Pinsent, took 4 hours to run the marathon.
George Adams from NH is pretty incredible. I couldn't find any great photos, but he is a beast. He just ran 2:46 at age 42 this year.
I'm far from the best but I can run a sub 18 5K and just ran a 3:11 Marathon in Philly @ 200 lbs.

Lol, that guy is 180lbs AT MOST.
Brian McNeice from RI is really good!
There's a guy in Texas, Ken Yanowski, who is a machine. He's mid-50s, weighs 200 lbs and did a 5.07 mile last year.
It would be great if the USATF arrived at, or agreed upon some standards for Clydesdale & Athena running, perhaps using something like this age/ weight adjustment calculator developed at the University of Dayton:
http://academic.udayton.edu/paulvanderburgh/weight_age_grading_calculator.htm
I'm 40 years myself, and weigh 195 lbs, so I'm probably borderline Clydesdale, but in the last six months I've run 2.59.41 for the Chicago Marathon, 1.20.57 for the Monster Dash Half 2 weeks after Chicago and 17.02 for a 5km back in September.
I am 34 I ran a half marathon two years ago with the time of 1 hours 52 minutes, my best time for 10k was 48.30 on a treadmill. When I ran the half marathon I was 116 kg and 183 cms tall, I dont know my weight at the treadmill, but somewhere around 115 kg. I know I was risking a heart attack but I just cant stop running.
I weighed 255 at the time when I did a 1 hour 52 minutes half marathon in Ireland. I did a lot of 10k in training my best time was 48.30 on a treadmill but I am only 6 feet. I wish I could run a marathon with people like u. I am only 34 though.
I would say Paul Mcmullen. He ran a 433 1500 and ran at the Olympics. Weather he is cydesdale, well you decide.
I believe this alone could convince you.

bolt is over 200lbs

To my knowledge there has never been a guy who went sub 16 in the Clydesdale div.
Wow, there must not be many of us out there. I am 6' even 205 lbs, have run sub 16 multiple times, on and off the track. My P.R. from college was 15:20 at 185 pounds, but I was more of a 1500 runner. I never lift, because I tend to put on muscle mass, sometimes even upper body muscle mass by running.
Since we are on the subject, can anyone suggest any healthy, performance-oriented ways to un-bulk-up? I have come to the conclusion that I am not likely to P.R. without slimming down a little. Thanks
rofl the tall tales roll on.

A guy named Mike Henze from WI has run well under 3:00, probably closer to 2:40 in the marathon. He also represented the USA at the world championships for 24 hour running. Think he did about 150 miles. At or above 200 lbs if I'm not mistaken.
He usually well over 200lbs. I think he may have dipped under 200 for the world championships when he ran 154? miles. He's run about a 2:45 marathon if memory serves correct. Guy is a BEAST with a HUGE engine, and will regularly put in excess of 5,000 miles a year. I remember a month of 937 miles when he was training for the world championships for the 24 hour race. Big fan of beer too.
What about women? Clydesdale is usually given as 140 lbs+. Debatable if this is equal to the men's, but it is what it is.
I for eg, I am 5'9", 145-150 lbs and run 17:10 for 5000.
Sometimes I consider entering in local fun runs in the Clydesdale cat just to make it awkward when I win. But then I wouldn't get the prize money (the whole reason I would enter a fun run...), so I don't.
I just ran a 1:20 Half this weekend in Ocean City as a Clydesdale. I don't think that I'm the best in the world but I have to be up there and my height is 6'2"

I'm not close to the best but 10 days ago I won the Clydesdale division at the Phoenix Marathon 10K - I'm 225lbs, 6' 2", 41 years old and ran 45:08 10K training 4x weekly. However, I also ran a 4:25 1600m at age 16 when I was 140lbs.

Who are these chicks and can I meet them?

Therefore, at 215, I am no longer the world's fastest Clydesdale.

I think you mean 3:33 not 4:33
