An Oxford professor broke a Guinness record by running a marathon in academic dress for charity
Oxford's own Professor Alexander Betts made headlines by setting a Guinness World Record at the London Marathon, finishing in an impressive 2 hours and 55 minutes while donning academic attire. His impressive run wasn't just about speed; it raised more than £3,300 for the children’s hospice charity, Helen & Douglas House, underlining the necessity for universities to foster ties with local organizations and charities.
