Farmers runs marathon dressed as tractor for charity

[B&B Pig Man]

Evening all,

A friend of mine is running the London marathon this year dressed as an MF tractor for charity.
It’s a frame / model he’s made himself, and he must carry it round the whole course without it touching the floor.
He’s already just completed the London half marathon as a warm up.

I know I’m asking a lot, but I’d be very greatful if a few members could spare some loose change for him in his quest to support the local air ambulance.

A farmer is to run the London Marathon dressed as a tractor to raise around £5,000 for an air ambulance charity.

Lincolnshire Farmer Craig Williamson will run the 26.2 mile race in aid of the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance.

Mr Williamson participated in the race last year, but this year he will dress himself as a tractor.

He is hoping to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest time dressed as a heavy good vehicle.

In order to achieve his goal, he will have to complete the race in less than 4 hours and 55 minutes.

Good on him
I'll chuck some in the pot tonight when I'm at home.

That’s brilliant hats off to him he should find someone else to run behind him dressed as an implement of some sort
Also tell him if he puts twin beacons on he will automatically knock an hour off his time

I'm totally skint at the moment but if he completes the race in that tractor (never mind not touching the floor or beating records) he must be worth £1 a mile of my pocket money! What will be the closing date for donations?

I’m not sure on the closing date tbh - can imagine it will be open for a while though.

I was talking to him about this the other day - the plan is for somebody to run as a trailer next time.
I did suggest that I’d be happy to sit in a trailer and he could tow me round!

Is he running on red or white

 

[TripleSix]

He would've got much better MPG dressed as a Fendt...

It's a Massey. The cab will rot and fall off after 100 yards, thus saving weight.

Fair play to the man

Local chap had a tractor accident recently and needed the air ambulance

Great @B&B Pig Man

Perhaps he could be towing a fix or repair daily

 

[Jon Feetham]

Is he going to send it to our resident tractor fiddler for a touch up when he's finished the race

Better that than a Ford - it'd never make it to the finish line before going porous!

Or hiding everything behind in a huge cloud of noxious fumes!
