Has anyone noticed that a "parsec" (parallax second) is a unit of distance, not time? "A unit of length used to measure the distances of stars from the Earth, defined as the distance from the Earth of a star that has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. 1 Parsec = 3.08568025 × 1016 meters = 3.2616 light-years." So Han couldn't really do the Kessel run in under any parsecs. :D

Depends on who you ask...

Kessel Run

The Kessel Run is a pathway from planet Kessel used frequently by smugglers in the transport of precious Glitterstim spice.

A well-known but confusing description of the Kessel Run is made by Han Solo in A New Hope when he boasts to have made the run with the Millennium Falcon in "less than twelve parsecs." A parsec is a unit of distance, not a measure of time or speed. Some have explained this apparent error by postulating the presence of a black hole cluster (The Maw) close to Kessel, which is used by pilots to shorten the distance of the run. Indeed, Lucas reveals in the DVD commentary of A New Hope that Solo was referring to distance. Lucas points out that a shorter distance traveled results in a shorter time. In the Star Wars galaxy, he explains, racers of the Kessel Run had the goal of plotting the shortest distance through space in order to reach this shorter time.

According to Expanded Universe literature, navigating the Maw black hole cluster is extremely hazardous. Ships making runs must take long complex courses to avoid the dangerous singularities and gravity distortions of the cluster. However, it is speculated that Solo brazenly shaved by the gravity wells, thus achieving a run under a distance of 12 parsecs where a safer route would be much longer. This shorter run, by necessity, would require a faster ship than more circuitious routes, since a slower ship would not be able to resist the gravitational pull of the closer black-holes.

The question of whether Solo was boasting about the speed of his ship, or his skillful abilities at piloting is still debated amongst fans. One could also look at the wording of the quote and consider Solo may have been mentioning another aspect of the Falcon's fame that is unrelated to its speed - that she earned prestige for surviving a dangerous short-distanced Kessel Run, as well as being "fast".

A more straightforward explanation is that George Lucas, in writing the script, did not remember or realize that parsecs are not time measurements. According to some sources, Lucas did realize this, but wished to portray Han Solo as an absent-minded braggart who simply did not know what he was talking about.[citation needed] The bemused reactions of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker to Han's quip suggest that this could be the case.

Something like that, but it had more to do with the black hole clusters around the kessel run route. They bent space and time or something, so if you skimmed near enough it you could actually travel less of a distance. Or you would get sucked in if your ship wasn't fast enough.
