I know there are no weight divisions in running, but I am interested to see if anybody over 170 can break 2:45 in the marathon, 17 in the 5K, 36 in 10K, 29 in 8K, 57 in 15K, 1:24 in the half, 4:40 in the mile, etc. etc. etc.

4:22, 15:44 XC
Though technically I didn't weigh 170 when I ran those.
I did run 4:40 when I weighed over 170.
40 yrs old, 170lbs, all PRs in last 18 months
m: 2:49
h: 1:17
ten: 35:30
five: 17:03
mi: 4:55
193 lbs
5K- 18:11
10K- 37:39
HM- 1:27
M- will be 2:59 in 3 weeks
I think height should be a part of this survey. 170 pounds isn't that much if the runner is 6'5" or taller.
190+
HM 1:23
M 2:57
I'm not happy about my weight, but I ran these times all over 170 (this was a several year span between 175-185, at age 17-21); these are all PR's, btw:
400m relay split: between 54-55
800: 2:00.1 (I'll never forget that .1)
1500: 4:20
5k xc: 16:14
5k track: 16:04
marathon: sub 3 (by a matter of seconds - my first and possibly last marathon)
a few years later I ran a sub 1:25 half at about 180
I still struggle with my weight and wish I was lighter (but, I am the first to admit, I am simply too lazy and with not enough will power to change it). One interesting (and possibly not related) fact is that I have never been injured - I've never had a day when I couldn't run if I wanted to! That seems a little counter-intuitive to me.
So, I guess I've achieved the OP's standards for the 5k and mile (arguably), just at the standard for the half, but not for the marathon, and I haven't seriously ran at 10k or 8k.
I ran a 15:46 5k, 4:11 1500 and I was and still am over 170 (I 'm about 6 feet tall as well). I ran a 20:25 6k for what it's worth. I'm also looking to go sub 26 8k this year, granted I'm starting to lose weight and will probably be under 170 by then.
BTW I am (and have been since 16) 5'11"
About 15:15 when weighing over your cut-off (181 lbs. approx.) After college I always weighed bit more as I always have lifted weights. Back in the day, the Clysdale Division had cut-off of 200 or 205 and I wished it had a lighter Clydsdale Division as it does now.
At about 6', 175-180#, ran roughly:
4:50 mile
16:50 5K
35:15 10K
2:55 in the 'thon
Google "clydesdale" - there is a class for the big-boned amongst us.
5'7"
165-170 lbs
400: 51
800: 1:55
1200: 3:02
1500: 4:01 (only race my freshman year in college)
1600: 4:17
3k: 9:01
5k: 15:29
4 miles: 20s lows on way to 5 miles
10k: 31 mids
1/2 HM: 1:09:xx
Every one though I was the biggest and fattest runner ever.
I'm 6'5" and right at 170 (give or take either way depending on hydration)
800: 2:06
1500: 4:11
3000: 8:47
5000: 15:07
10000: 31:25
8k: 25:26
1/2 marthon: 69:30
marathon: 2:30:11
5' 11, 176 pounds, 15:54 5k, 4:26 mile, 4:09 1500, 1:58 800
Wow, for a 193 pounder those are some incredible times. I am impressed with the rest of the posts on here.
Follow-up question: what would high school and college running be like if there were weight classes similar to wrestling meets and runners at given weights competed head-to-head?

I want to lose more weight especially now that I am getting back int othe whole running thing post collegiately but even at 175 or so I never really looked like a big guy. Most people supposed I was 165lbs or less when they saw me which I consider to be pretty light for my height.
5'11"
I was 170 a couple weeks ago...at about 165 now, but I ran 14:10 5k and 29:30 10k last year.
