A BASINGSTOKE woman has broken a World Record after finishing the London Marathon in a Minnie the Mouse costume.
Becky Vincent, 36, from Basingstoke, completed the challenge in a personal best time of 3 hours, 24 minutes and 28 seconds, which earned her the Guinness World Record for fastest marathon dressed as a cartoon character (female.)
Already a seasoned runner, Becky qualified for the London Marathon after completing the Paris Marathon previously, in addition to other distances, including half marathons.
Becky’s dad, Tony Willis, said: “It’s a great achievement and we’re proud of her for having broken a record and completed the marathon in a personal best time.”
The Guinness World Records Twitter account tweeted: “Minnie Mouse is in the house!
“Fastest marathon dressed as a cartoon character (female) – Rebecca Vincent 3:24:28 #LondonMarathon.”
