Looking for a way to be a "world champion"

    Greetings. I am hoping to set the world record/ become world champion in something running related. The conventional stuff is clearly far out of reach but can anyone suggest a challenge that someone such as myself of modest athletic talent could conceivably claim a record or World Championship in? Suggestions welcome!

    Was just thinking. Maybe the mods would let me be "mod for a day" ? With my marathon PB I could claim "fastest/ best running mod on boards in history?"

    On the 26th of October 1980, Earnest C Conner Jnr ran a marathon backwards. He did it in 5 hrs 18 minutes in New York.

    I bet if you wore a chicken mask, diving flippers and cable tied your wrists behind your back, you could shave a few minutes off Earnests time.

    Best of luck man.
