There's video of him approaching the finish with a pace group sign.

Ah, you sure you Moran? He walked a 5:21 pace 2017 and there is no record of him being there in 2016 or 2015. Are you a paid shill for the fat scammer?:

Looks like he missed the first two mats. He probably didn't even walk the whole thing.

Clearly the guy is capable of completing a marathon. But whether he did it 100 times in a row, many around a 4:00 pace is under serious question.

Ok take it easy he is just listed on their Facebook page several times. A picture of him as the 3:35 pacer last year. Just thought I would share what I find too psycho
What's the link to the Facebook page? I find it unbelievable that they would make him the 3:35 pacer. One look at this guy and you can tell he can't run.
Based on the fact that this guy said he ran a 4:20 mile and a 3:05 Thon instantly discredits anything else he says.
I want proof this guy ran 26 miles at 7:04 pace or the rest of the story is a f'n lie.

HAHAHA!!!
Fat Boy pwnd idiot letsrunners.
So what though? You found a link where OP ran a 10:30 pace marathon and somehow that's supposed to prove he ran 100 marathons and then 100 miles.
He said he ran the first 42 marathons in a row at 9:20's, yet the only marathon y'all can find is a 10:30 pace, smh
Threads like this make me sad.
Sad that the joy of the Robert MF Young thread will never be bettered.
Rob was the cheat of all cheats. He had a book deal and everything. He was making a genuine living out of his scamming.
And he was snared in real time. It was absolutely great.
This reminds me of the delusional girl who broke Meltzer's FKT on AT.
Only this guy made it a lot more public. Similarly there doesn't seem to be any accountability for his time or distance claims. In this case we're not supposed to actually question him since he's doing it all for charities.
I really doubt Derek would look into this one; other than the 2 included marathons that he participated in there's unlikely to be clear evidence one way or the other. It's a he said/LetsRun said situation; I think if Derek wants his website to be taken seriously he won't bother with taking this guy down. It's up to you, other posts of LetsRun. Where's ExpertKipWatcher?
His claims are exceedingly implausible, but it looks like there isn't enough objective evidence floating around to be able to disprove them.

OMFG, we have the American version of the British ultra runners club that believed Robert Young. I can believe they are that stupid. Here is a sample post where they say this fat scammer is a sub 3:05 marathon and Boston runner. I'll eat this fat scammer's left overs from dinner if he can even remotely reach that.

Wish we could find his qualifier. Records and splits from marathons 2000/2001 are likely long gone.
from athlinks, the only possible marathon results I can find:
Flora London Marathon 2005- View KEVIN P KELLY 25 Apr 4, 2005 LON 3:57:57
London Marathon 2008- View KEVIN P KELLY 30 Apr 13, 2008 LON 3:24:29
Seriously though, if he ran a 3:45 in Boston and he was trying there is no way he legit qualified that's 40 mins above his standard.
His number is 301-500-9705 according to his blog. Call him and demand answers.

Yeah exactly, as usual plenty of posters wanting others to post to his FB, Twitter, etc or Derek at Marathon Investigation to get involved to tell him he's a lying turd, but doing sweet FA themselves.
Hey, we are doing plenty here. We are giving the good old stink eye.

Yeah but, is the fat fraud aware of it, has anyone contacted his FB, Twitter, phone, etc to make him aware of this thread and that we're on to him, or is it just a hate-in amongst ourselves?
I messaged him to call him out, he swears he did all 100 marathons, I asked him about 3:05 he said he actually ran 3:04:18. Blocked me when i called him a liar.
