AMONG the parliamentary candidates running for the two seats in the town is a Guinness World Record holder.

The Green Party's Warrington North candidate, Sarah Hayes, holds the feat for the fastest marathon dressed as a bottle by a woman.

She made history at the Chester Marathon in October 2011 where she crossed the line with a time of 4hr 36min 19secs.

The 57-year-old was sponsored by the Cumbrian Legendary Ales for the run carried out to raise funds for Pageant - a British charity which supports pupils, schools and other educational establishments in Gambia.

"I wanted to raise money for a school in Gambia and for the development in west Africa," she said.

"It was a bit more high profile that the average marathon."

Sarah has been running marathons and ultra-marathons regularly since 2010.

The record was previously held by Gill Begnor, with a time of 4hr 54min 36sec in the 2010 Virgin London Marathon.
