Kelly Gneiting broke the Guinness World Record for "Heaviest Person to Complete a Marathon" by crossing the finish at the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday.


The former U.S. sumo champion, who weighed in at Dodger Stadium on Sunday morning at exactly 400 pounds, finished the race in 9 hours, 48 minutes and 42 seconds.


Gneiting, of Ft. Defiance, Ariz., walked the last 18-plus miles of the race after jogging through the first 8 miles.


Markos Geneti won the men's event, setting a Los Angeles Marathon record with a time of 2:06:35. Buzunesh Deba gave Ethiopia a sweep, taking the women's race in 2:26:34.

I think you mean the 1/2 marathon. DC had both 1/2 and full marathon this weekend.

If it was full marathon, then your friend just broke the world record.  ;D

Daft keep up with the running and stretching after this long run, muscles will be more sore if you layoff

Well done, I would not run in the cold.

Recalled a half marathon I ran many blue moons ago in Trinidad - Simon Bolivar Classic late 1980s
3 weekends in a row I recalled, 10KM, half marathon and lastly a 5KM
running on the Audrey Jeffers highway, all you see is road and more road PRESSURE
then through Western Main Road and the people out on the street with their garden hose "you want meh to wet yah"
Primary objective keeping Granny Luces from passing me on de highway  :rotfl:

Not just Africans - Kenyans and Ethiopians...They are so dominant at that distance, that there must be some kind of explanation... hard to believe that that's just luck & chance.
