ANSWER: In 2009, Norton finished the New York Marathon in 3:48. Ferrell ran the 2003 Boston Marathon in 3:56. Ferrell has run a few marathons. He talked to
The Onion A.V. Club about his running career:
New York was the hardest, because it was the longest, and I had the least amount of training. Stockholm I did in 4:22, but it was 80 degrees. One of the selling points is that they average about 68 degrees Fahrenheit, and of course we run it the day it's over 80. They don't start the race until 2 in the afternoon because it stays light so late there, so it's right in the heat of the day, and it felt like it would never end. But this last one I did, Boston, which is supposed to be the most hardcore, was the most fun. I broke four hours, and the crowds were just amazing.
