New Guinness World Record for longest scarf knitted while running a marathon
Stitches while running a marathon are not usually conducive to success - but they proved to be the making of David Babcock after he broke the scarf- knitting-while-running-a-marathon record. The 41-year-old finished the Kansas City marathon in five hours, 48 minutes and 27 seconds, at the same time constructing a scarf measuring 12ft 1¾" long.
