New marathon record in donkey costume
A volunteer police officer has triumphed inwards the London Marathon, carving close an hr off the previous best fourth dimension to run the race inwards a 17kg ass costume.
Nic Van Gelder, 35, swapped his uniform for the ass costume to enhance coin for the international working animate beingness charity, the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA).
Van Gelder, purpose of the SPANA fundraising team, had hopes of breaking the charity’s electrical flow London Marathon donkey-costume tape of vii hours as well as 47 minutes, but recognised it would survive no slowly feat.
He said earlier the race: “I know I won’t survive able to create much to a greater extent than than a walking footstep inwards the heavy costume as well as then it’s going to survive a existent endurance challenge.”
A challenge it proved to be, but Van Gelder completed the race inwards half dozen hours 48 minutes, knocking a whopping 59 minutes off the previous best fourth dimension inwards the costume on the London Marathon course.
Completing the marathon inwards the heavy costume serves every bit a graphic reminder of the enormous burdens that working animals convey to deport every twenty-four hours of their lives as well as the distances they convey to deport them.
