swittle May 2019 10:13am, 7 May 2019 54,473 posts	0 swittle Hayley Carruthers, who crossed the finish line in some distress, trained at the hospital where Fetchie northernslowcoach practises. The article below refers to her as a research radiographer working with cancer patients. telegraph.co.uk

HappyG(rrr) May 2019 1:58pm, 7 May 2019 31,289 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Ooh, if you want a real tale of the shameful money grabbing of the Guinness World Record folks you can read my account of my YEAR LONG attempt to get them to ratify my Fastest Marathon in Highland Dress (kilt, sporran, dress shirt, bow tie, waistcoat, tails jacket, Glengarry hat, knee socks, flashes - just missing the clumpy brogues and the sgian dubh (knife!) All evidence provided, forms filled in etc. but wouldn't accept it. If I paid £4,500 for their invigilator (plus expenses to fly him / her to Isle of Lewis where I did the marathon) they would ratify it immediately. Grrr!

KeithL May 2019 2:06pm, 7 May 2019 76 posts	0 KeithL Yes you can "fast" track applications for a record for $500 (or something similar) or wait 12 weeks etc... its certainly a commercial organisation
HappyG(rrr) May 2019 2:10pm, 7 May 2019 31,290 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Are you sure Keith? I was quote £4,500. I don't know what $500 gets you.
KeithL May 2019 2:14pm, 7 May 2019 77 posts	0 KeithL I thought it was $500 but havent checked and that $500 is I think just looking at your paperwork within a week/ten days rather than waiting 12 weeks. It guarantees nothing.
