Guinness Confirms First Run Around the World

Forty year-old Briton Robert Garside waited three years for Guinness World Records to confirm him as the first runner to run around the world. It took the former policeman six years to cover the 30,000 miles across six continents. He must have had a lot of PTO accrued. He called himself the Runningman during his quest. I wonder if MC Hammer approved this nickname?

For the name, the PTO accrual, and the downright incomprehensible feat of running around the world, you not only are a Guinness World Record holder, you have also been Activated!
