Fringe event breaks world record!

 

Some of the record breaking runners

 

We're still waiting for it to be officially confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records, but a Fringe event may well have broken a world record this weekend.

 

Hundreds of superheroes gathered on the seafront to complete the run from the Peace Statue to Hove Lagoon and back, raising money for Passing It On, a Brighton based charity, and smashing the hotly contested world record for the "greatest number of people dressed as superheroes gathered together at the same time".

 

With estimates of over 1,500 superheroes in yesterday's run, there seems little doubt that the previous record of 103 superheroes is will and truly broken.
