ABINGDON’S Sarah Dudgeon and friend Victoria Carter set a new world record for three legged running at Sunday’s Virgin Money London Marathon.
The duo completed the 26.2-mile route in 3hrs 47mins 19secs – beating the previous record by just under an hour.
They are now waiting for the time to be officially certified.
Vet 40 runner Paul Fernandez led the way for Abingdon, finishing 134th in a fine time of 2.33.48.
Clubmates Michael Deering and Liz McGill achieved personal bests, while Andy Muir, Ken Welby and Emma Moore ran their first marathons.
White Horse Harriers trio Jamie McBrien, Dan Peace and Lori Fellingham secured good age times to qualify for next year’s marathon.
