It is safe to say that the makers of Adam Campbell’s suit had no idea how he was going to use the attire.
Adam wore the suit while he was running in the 2012 Victoria Marathon.
The 33-year-old lawyer wanted to raise money for Access Pro Bono, an organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada that provides legal help for people of limited means.
His efforts not only raised $2,200, but he also broke the Guinness record for running a marathon in a suit with a time of 2:35:53.
“The suit is at the dry cleaner’s now. It is one of my favorite suits. But the white shirt is ruined,” Adam told Simple English News when we asked him what happened to his clothing after the race.
“The temperatures were quite hot for a marathon. And there were times I did not think I was going to finish. But the crowd really supported me,” he added.
