The first to cross the line among those attempting a Guinness World Records was Julian Rendall with a time of 2:51:45, setting a new record for f astest marathon dressed in pyjamas (male). At 28, Claudia Burrough has participated in eight marathons since 2019. She lives in Kingston upon Thames, where she works in Disability and Mental Health Support within Higher Education. More recently, the daughter of his close friends was diagnosed with alopecia and faces hair loss. That fueled his decision to run for the Little Princess Trust, which provides human hair wigs for children and young people experiencing the devastating effects of hair loss.

That's also the case of Chris “Rhino boy” Green, who already earned the love of media nationwide thanks to his impressive rhino costume. I feel proud for all the training I put in, and the dedication in the last six months. But most of all, I am happy that I was able to raise as much money as possible for the ABF Soldiers Charity, which is a charity close to my heart." - David Jones He already underwent the challenge of running every day for a year, no matter the conditions: come rain, sunshine or snow, he would complete a minimum of one mile every day. She also wrote 'Families and Volunteers' on her boots to salute her co-workers: "they are all so wonderful and inspiring and I feel honoured to work with them," she says.Although her approach to the challenge inevitably changed, she did not abandon her goal of taking part in the London Marathon 2019. From the day Pheidippides made his infamous journey in 490 BC people have been strapping on their sandals (and more recently running shoes) and running just over 26 miles for the fun of it.

His son was diagnosed at 3 years old and Paul, like many other runners today, pushed his limits. He broke the record for the fastest marathon dressed as a knight, and raised money and awareness for a good cause. David Jones was the first record-breaking runner to cross the finish line and breaking the record for fastest marathon dressed in pyjamas (male) with an incredible time of 2:47:15. The Jersey, Channel Islands natives celebrated Alan’s recovery from an injury with Scott’s help by running the Jersey Marathon in St Helier… dressed as ice creams! I saw a photo of the record in my son’s Guinness World Records book last year, and told him I could do that. Obviously being a nine-year-old boy, he said ‘no, you cannot’… and that was enough for me to try!” - David

Fastest marathon dressed as a fisherman

During the Virgin Money London Marathon 2021, two years ago, Julian set the record for the fastest marathon dressed in pyjamas. For the fifteenth consecutive year, the London Marathon and Guinness World Records joined forces to flood the streets of the British capital with fun costumes, incredible talents and records. Although the marathon is very much a dry land affair, the sea will also be at the centre of another runner's efforts.

I will be preparing by steadily increasing my mileage over an 18-week training cycle, eating a vegetarian diet, and strength training to reduce the likelihood of injuries,” Kirk explains. The days leading to the marathon that will take over the British capital are always an incredible time of training, of preparation and adrenaline. This is also the perfect moment to glance at some of the inspiring stories of these creative runners: behind a costume and a record attempt, we always find amazing challenges and incredible stories - the kind that makes us smile and reflect. Following suit, Charlie Osmond broke the record for fastest marathon dressed as an astronomical body (male) with an... otherworldly time of 03:30:36.The fourth record to be broken during the day was by Gower Tan, an experienced runner who attempted to snatch the GWR title in a scientist costume. Alan told us: “We spent the best part of a Jersey summer travelling around the island, eating Jersey soft-serve ice creams. Hardly a chore! It’s never too late to make history, and applications to break a record at the London running event of the year are officially open. Among the record breakers we have all sorts of sportsmen (like Andrew Roberts, who broke the record for fastest marathon dressed as a badminton player), everyday objects ( fastest marathon dressed as a glass, broken by Joan Pons Laplana), scientists and plenty of mythical creatures, too. Guinness World Records adjudicator Will Munford was also present at the finish line, in full official gear, to adjudicate, confirm and celebrate all the records that were broken during the day.
