Runner Takes on Half Marathon While Wearing 90 T-Shirts

A runner in an Alberta half-marathon attempted a Guinness World Record by taking on the 13.1-mile course while wearing 90 T-shirts.

David Eliuk ran the Hypothermic Half Marathon in Edmonton while wearing the 90 T-shirts in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record of 76 shirts, which was set by British runner David Smith in 2019.

Eliuk said he trained for five months before the attempt, but still hit some unforeseen difficulties from the weight and constriction of his wardrobe.

He “had a lot of issues with constriction” on his arms in the first lap and the crew was able to help him get through that.

Eliuk said evidence from his attempt is being submitted to Guinness World Records for official recognition.
