Jackie Scully, 42, is aiming to break a Guinness World Record for the fastest time in a ten-person costume at this year’s TCS London Marathon.

A breast cancer survivor is set to take on the 2024 London Marathon in a ten-person London bus costume in a bid to break a Guinness World Record and raise money for charity.

The ten-strong team will be individually dressed as “everyday heroes”, such as a doctor, a paramedic and a soldier, while Mrs Scully will wear a Transport for London bus driver outfit. “I say if you ever want to see London at its best, stand on the streets on London Marathon day – it’s just magic.“My wedding is entirely wrapped up in it, the park where it all starts in Blackheath was where I was recovering from surgery and when I’ve been injured, Greenwich is the place where I got back on my feet.”

“I think it’s one thing to train yourself for a marathon but it’s another thing to turn an individual sport into a team game and have nine others training alongside me,” she said. “I get goosepimples thinking about what we’re trying to achieve and how it’s going to feel on the day.”
