Coroebus, he won the stade event in the Olympics(210 yards). He was the very first Olympic champion in history.
According to Greek mythology, Pheidippides was the first Marathon runner. He ran from the city of Marathon to Athens, Greece.
Usain Bolt. He had a split time at 0.82 seconds between 60-70 meters. It´s an average speed at 43,9 kilometer/hour
in my opinion usain bolt is the fastest runner ever known.
Edwin alvarez was the first ever person to take the gold in the first summer olympics.
It is unknown who the first runner is, seeing as Track and Field running have been around sense the caveman era.
