Guinness World Record holder David “Record Breaker” Rush has reclaimed his record by completing a half marathon in Idaho while wearing 137 T-shirts.
The Idaho native first set the record in 2019, running 21 kilometers with 111 T-shirts. A few years later, another runner broke his record by completing the same distance wearing 127 T-shirts.
To reclaim his title, Rush underwent intense training. He ran in heavy clothing and practiced with weighted bags to simulate the strain of wearing multiple layers. His preparation focused on endurance, strength, and stamina.
During a previous attempt at the Idaho Potato Half Marathon, Rush managed only 114 T-shirts before stopping due to restricted blood flow to his neck. This year, he returned to the same race and successfully completed it wearing 137 T-shirts.
Reflecting on his achievement, Rush said, “After years of effort and one spectacular failure, I finally reclaimed my 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.”
Running a marathon in 137 T-shirts required extreme physical and mental effort. The attempt drew attention from spectators and social media, with many praising his dedication and perseverance.
Rush’s accomplishment demonstrates the unique challenges inspired by Guinness World Records. His story encourages others to pursue creative and ambitious goals, showing that persistence can lead to success even in unusual challenges.
