Gladys "Glady" Burrill, 92, of Prospect, Oregon, finished the Honolulu Marathon the 5th time finish at 9 hrs 53 mins and 16 secs - adjusting the fresh world record for the Oldest female marathon finisher."It was unbelievable once I 1st actually found out about it," says Burrill. "I just love it. I take care of my wellness, I think positive and I always had physical exercise," tells Burrill.
The former Guinness world record for the oldest female marathon runner was set of Jenny Wood-Allen, 90, who finished the London Marathon in 2002 in about 11 hrs.
Burrill is from Prospect, Oregon, but she spends part of every year in Honolulu in a condominium she owns in Waikiki.
Burrill began enrolling marathons in 2004 once she was 86-years old. She put in 30 to 50 miles each week training with her running partner, 66-year-old George McCarthy.
"We knew Glady was an impressive athlete and she made a big attempt a couple yrs agone, we are just so energised that our 1st world record goes to a such a big person as Glady Burrill," says Dr. Jim Barahal, Honolulu Marathon President.
Guinness World Records also accepted the record for the longer parasailing marathon: 24 hour 10 minute, adjust by Berne Persson (Sweden) on Lake Graningesjön, Sweden.
Guiness World Records too lists the longest snowboarding marathon, which is 180 hour 34 minute and was set by Bernhard Mair (Austria) at Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria.
