(This puzzle is taken from my website. There's a link in my profile.)

$\begingroup$ Curious out of all the things for the analogy, why 2 men and a boy =) $\endgroup$ – Alex Nov 1 '17 at 15:40

They are
the hands of a clock
Because
there are two long hands, the minute hand and the second hand, which represent the men, because one moves one second at a time and the other one moves one minute at a time.
And
The kid is the short hand, the hour hand, which moves one hour at a time.

$\begingroup$ I would argue that I'm even faster than your super fast runner. $\endgroup$ – A. P. Nov 1 '17 at 11:04
