A Harrogate runner has set a new Guinness World Record after running the London Marathon dressed as a unicorn.
Father-of-three Jeremie Maillard is now the fastest male to be dressed as a mythical creature to complete the 26.2-mile race, recording a time of three hours and 26 minutes."I did practise round Harrogate, so the locals must have thought there was a unicorn on the run," he joked.Mr Maillard sported flashy leg warmers, a rainbow tail and a mask, although he admitted to having struggled with the latter accessory.
"It was very hard because there's only a small hole through the mouth of the unicorn to see out of, and the breathing as well, so it was very limited vision. It was quite hot," he said.
