Would you run a marathon carrying a bike or a fridge, or trapped in a humungous costume?
This year, over 70 aspiring record holders will wear their most creative costumes, lace up their fastest running shoes and attempt a record at the TCS London Marathon 2024.
The runners who will break a record at the TCS London Marathon (taking place on 21 April) will earn an official Guinness World Records title and a coveted place in the Guinness World Records 2025 edition, out in September 2024.
On the day you might spot “Rhino Boy” Chris Green running in a heavy rhino costume for the fastest marathon dressed as a mammal, or Ryan Walklett attempting the fastest marathon dressed as a drag queen in Drag Race UK star A-Whora’s sparkly outfit.
