Running at the Edge

If you are looking for a little International recognition as a long distance runner, you might have to step up your game.  Competitors at the 2011 Virgin London Marathon set a number of new World records.  Here are a few:

• Fastest marathon in an animal costume
• Fastest marathon dressed as a book character
• Fastest marathon dressed as a fairy (male & female)
• Fastest marathon dressed as a nun
• Fastest marathon wearing a gas mask
• Most rubik's cubes solved while running a marathon
