When Finn and Rey meet Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon, she questions if he was the same man who did the Kessel Run in less than fourteen parsecs, being corrected by Han that he did the run in less than twelve parsecs. In Guerre stellari (1977), Han Solo boasted to Luke Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi that he made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs to justify the high speed of the Millennium Falcon. A parsec is an unit of space, not time (1 parsec = 3.26 light-years). In the Expanded Universe, and eventually in Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), it is explained that the Kessel Run was an eighteen parsec route used by smugglers to avoid the Galactic Empire's controls, in a sector of space hard to navigate, due to several black holes in the path, and Han made an alternate route.
