Arturo Barrios
Arturo Barrios (born December 12, 1962) is a Mexican long-distance runner, a former world record holder at 10,000 m (27:08.23, set on August 18, 1989).
On March 30, 1991, Barrios set world records at one hour (21.101 km) and 20,000 m (56:55.6). Both of these records stand as of 2005.
Barrios' 1991 performance makes him the first man ever to run a half-marathon distance in less than one hour; the first to do so in an actual half-marathon competition was Moses Tanui in 1993.
