Sadly, not recognised as a record as it wasn't in a proper race and he had pacemakers. However, I don't suppose I could even walk it under six hours. And, Bobtanian, as an ex scaley, you must have done it with a radio on your back!

Amazing, but remember that squaddies had to run for two hours carrying full kit....

Alas it wont be a "record" as such.....

Gosh, I really admire those who have the stamina to complete a marathon in any time let alone that time. Well done.

Brilliant!!! I couldn't believe how he could still run up and down with the flag and without even seeming out of breath when he had finished. Well done.
