Longest time spent playing
The most played games does not necessarily mean the longest time playing as your berserk percentage has a major impact.
Also a lot of short games mean less playing time.
And also Arena strategy has impact. For example: (some) people quickly resign a worse position to start a new game (and they might be right from a marathon score point of view).
The waiting time to get paired is not included so the actual time spent in the tournament is a bit more.

Notable GM/IM losses
The marathon gives a nice opportunity to play against GM/IM's. Usually they will beat you but sometimes, sometimes they make a big mistake or you are able to surprise them and score a victory!
These are the losses by a GM/IM with white against an opponent which has 600 rating points less

The shortest games ended by checkmate are usually caused by completely missing a mating threat or by a bad pre-move. Selection criteria are: both players have >2400 rating and a maximum length of 15 moves.
