Guinness World Record holder David ‘Record Breaker’ Rush reclaimed his lost record by completing a half marathon in Idaho while wearing 137 T-shirts.
The Idaho native first set the record in 2019 by running 21 kilometers wearing 111 T-shirts. However, a few years later, another runner surpassed him by running with 127 T-shirts.
To regain the title, David Rush underwent intense training, running in heavy clothing and practicing with weighted bags.
During his previous attempt at the famous Idaho Potato Half Marathon, he could only manage 114 T-shirts and had to withdraw after experiencing restricted blood flow to his neck. This year, however, he returned to the same race and successfully completed it wearing 137 T-shirts.
Reflecting on his achievement, Rush said that after years of effort and one spectacular failure, he had finally reclaimed his Guinness World Record. “I’m thrilled I didn’t give up. It was a combination of determination, creativity, endurance, and, of course, a lot of T-shirts,” he added.
