Last weekend, 35 year old Paul Martelletti dressed in a Spiderman costume finished the London Marathon in an amazing time of 2 hours 30 minutes and 12 seconds. That is now a new Guinness World Record time for someone running in a fancy dress costume in a marathon.
When he's not breaking records, Paul Martelletti is a handy runner in his own right with recent half-marathon wins in Brighton, Watford and Wokingham. In March, he won the Bath Half-Marathon in a time of 1:05:27.

Paul Martelletii had also won the Manchester Marathon the week before London in 2:17:47 (with Irishman Eoin Callaghan second in 2:18:45).
Before that, Martelletti had run nine half-marathons in 2015, winning six of the major ones in the UK: Wokingham, Bath, Brighton, Watford, Liverpool and Hillingdon.
As well he has run a number of Parkruns this year, with a fastest time of 15:02.
His performances on the track last year range from 1:59.57 for 800 metres to that 6:57:22 for 100km two weeks later!
Aged 35, he was born in New Zealand but now lives in London.

He also holds the record for the fastest 100k ever run in Ireland (6:57:22), which he did in Belfast last July.
