An Edmonton runner unofficially set a new world record Sunday.
During the Hypothermic Half Marathon, David Eliuk set out to break the Guinness World Record for most shirts worn during a half-marathon.
“It hurt,” Eliuk said.
According to Eliuk, the old record was 76 shirts.
“Unofficially we are going to call it 90 — so breaking the record by a decent amount — and hopefully, that stands for a long time.”
The unique feat wasn’t without its challenges. Eliuk said about two kilometres into the race, his left arm started to tingle.
“I had a lot of issues with constriction on my arms in the first lap and the crew was able to help me get through that,” Eliuk said.
Eliuk trained for about five months — adding 12 shirts every two weeks to get used to the weight and arm movement restriction.
