Belgian Athlete Sets Half Marathon World Record on 3-Foot Stilts
Belgian athlete Jonathan Engels set a Guinness World Record by running the Skylux Half Marathon in Kortrijk, Belgium on April 26 while strapped to stilts measuring 3 feet 1 inch. He completed the 13.1-mile course in 2 hours, 30 minutes and 44 seconds after seven months of specialized training. The standard men's half marathon record on foot is 56 minutes and 51 seconds, meaning the stilts added roughly an hour and a half to his finish.
