An Australian man ran a marathon in 16 hours and 12 minutes while pulling a 1.6-ton truck.
Corey Phillpott, 23, pulled a Ford Ranger pickup truck 26.2 miles through Jamison Park in Penrith, New South Wales, United Press International reported.
Phillpott earned the world record for World’s Strongest Marathon beating the previous record of 17 hours set by Justin True. The feat is not eligible for a Guinness World Record.
“It won’t get ratified by Guinness because they wanted us to pull a city car, half the size,” he said.
He was inspired to pull a truck by Ross Edgley, who set the original World’s Strongest Marathon title in 2016 with a time of 19 hours and 36 minutes.
Phillpott ran the marathon as part of a fundraiser for the ChildSafe Australia charity.
“I’ve got no injuries, I feel great, I’ll go for a run tomorrow,” Phillpott told the Blue Mountains Gazette.
