The fastest half marathon dressed as a badminton player (male) is 1 hr 43 min 12 sec and was achieved by Simeon Foreman (UK) in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK, on 12 June 2022.
Simeon was regularly running between 30 and 50 miles per week. "I started to practice in my kit, mainly the heavy badminton shoes!! I knew it would be hard to run in the badminton shoes, but the overall running was no effort. It was part of what I do."
"It would mean the world not only because Roy Castle was a huge hero of mine as a child, but it would also prove all those people wrong who think I am running for no purpose. It would make a huge boost to my fund raising for charity."
