I assume you are talking about sprinter not long distance runners? Ok so some will say this is racist but it isn't. It's Genetics. If slave owners breeded slaves to be stronger (and they did) then naturally the genetics of the black man/woman would be passed on to inherently make them faster and stronger. Slavery was the racist act. The result of the racist act is not racist at all.

Research has indicated that it has something to do with leverage. The origin and insertion of the tendons into
the upper and lower leg bones allows for greater speed.
This can be better explained in the field of "kinesiology".
As for the "slower" (if you want to call a 2:10 marathon slow)long distance races, I believe that a lot has to do with culture ,lifestyle,
and a tradition for running;like the Kenyans in particular.

I dont know about running but supposedley we can jump higher because our calves are smaller, buy this i mean short, so their explosive and responsive. White guys have long calves that run all the way down to their ankles or achilles.

Their ancestors were skilled hunters -- always running and walking great distances. Their genetics were then passed on to their descendants.
