Chris Howett, more aptly known as “Chris in Crocs” in his latest video, set himself an ambitious goal. <\/strong>Running the Manchester Marathon, sub-3 hours … in Crocs.<\/p>\n

To add an extra degree of intrigue, Howett has never run a marathon \u2014 in any footwear \u2014 before.<\/p>\n

Adorned in rubber ducky-yellow Crocs with a lightning McQueen charm (and matching socks), Howett was fully aware of how silly he’d look. <\/p>\n

“I mean, who would be stupid enough to try to run a marathon in Crocs?” the Brit asked in his recent video. “That person would be me.”<\/p>\n

And yes, he at least had the wherewithal to engage the heel strap.<\/p>\n

Runtime: <\/strong>14 minutes<\/p>\n

Note: As of this video posting, Guinness World Records is still confirming Chris’s record run for the “fastest marathon wearing foam clogs, male.” Pending records<\/a> can take up to 12 weeks to become official. <\/em><\/p>\n
