Perkins Township Firefighter Brian Hackenburg is going to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for fastest half marathon in a Firefighter's Uniform this Sunday December 15, 2013 at 0900 hours. The race is the Santa Hustle in Sandusky, OH.

Hack's a swimming, biking, and running maniac in general, but the cause is for the National Firefighter Endowment Turnout Challenge. It's a project to raise funds for fire departments in need of equipment. So far this year with the help of firefighters from around the country, over $9,000 has been raised.

There is a lot that goes into a World Record attempt. Here are a few of the requirements.

Everything has to be approved by Guinness, i.e. gear, boots, helmet, gloves.
The entire race has to be recorded. The race directors allowed for two bicycles to follow Brian with cameras.
Two independant witnesses are needed. Specifically, two runners that can keep up for the entire race.
