A South African couple runs 42.2-kilometre balconymarathon for five hours, nine minutes and 39 seconds in Dubai
This handout image provided by Collin and Hilda Allin on March 28, 2020 reportedly shows them after having run a 42.2-kilometre distance in their 19-metre long balcony in Dubai during confinement measures for the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, recoding a time of 5 hours, nine minutes, and 39 seconds.
"We did it ... #balconymarathon," Allin said on Instagram, congratulating his wife on her first ever marathon and thanking the virtual crowd that cheered them on. Allin said he planned to organise a "bigger, global and more inclusive run next" where people who are under lockdown but keen to stretch their legs can join for a few kilometres or more."It's about getting people to connect, as everyone is worried about the impact of coronavirus."
He reportedly managed the feat in six hours and 48 minutes , nearly double his best marathon finish time.
