Record-Breaking Style Verified: Jason Hunt Runs the Fastest Marathon in a Suit

When most people think about running a marathon, their minds turn to technical fabrics, energy gels, and supportive trainers. But for Jason Hunt, performance came with a little more polish.

On 12 October 2025, in Melbourne, Australia, Jason Hunt made history - and did it in style - by breaking the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon in a suit (male). Clocking an astonishing time of 2 hours, 38 minutes and 21 seconds, Jason didn’t just complete the race - he redefined what it means to run with confidence.

Guinness Certified: “Officially Amazing”

The Guinness World Records certificate now proudly displays Jason’s name -  a permanent testament to a day when classic tailoring met world-class athleticism.

A sharp time, for a sharp-dressed man.
