Runner Unofficially Breaks Record For ‘Fastest Half Marathon In A Suit’

Yuki Kawauchi, dubbed Japan’s “Citizen Runner” because he refuses to accept corporate sponsorships, completed the Kuki Half Marathon in 1 hour, 6 minutes and 42 seconds — while wearing a full business suit.

From Hypebeast:

Kawauchi’s Kuki run also unofficially broke the world record for the fastest half marathon run in a suit by a whopping margin of 17 minutes and 59 seconds. The existing record will still stand, due to the fact that Kuki is not a Guinness-certified course. Kawauchi does not seem bothered, however, as he told Japan Running News: ““But I’m glad that I could break the Guinness World Record unofficially. I got pretty sweaty and tired out there, but the people along the course loved it.”

I’m going to break the record for never wearing a suit and never running a marathon. I’m at 37 straight years already.
