A woman who wanted to break the Guinness World Record for running a marathon dressed as a nurse has been told her successful attempt does not count — because she was wearing scrubs and pants, rather than a skirt
Jessica Anderson, a nurse at the Royal London Hospital, ran the city's marathon last Sunday in the outfit she wears at work.But she was told beforehand by Guinness World Records that she would need to wear a blue and white dress, apron and a traditional nurse's cap for her effort to be valid, Britain's Press Association reported.Full-body scrubs are too close to the organization's definition of a doctor's costume, officials added.
"Inclusiveness and respect are values that Guinness World Records holds extremely dear, and while we always need to ensure we can differentiate between categories, it is quite clear that this record title is long overdue a review, which we will conduct as a priority in the coming days," the body said in a statement. CNN has contacted Anderson for comment.
