Story

On the 20th October 2019, 44 runners broke the world record for running marathon distance in a 40 person costume a Viking boat named The Million Squid. The successful attempt took place at the Yorkshire Marathon and was the first in several planned marathons for the boat, which aims to raise £1,000,000 for Children with Cancer over an 18 month period. This outing alone not only broke the world record, but also raised over £15,000 in the process.

How fast can this thing go? How far can it go? We are excited to find out!
