People taking part in a special edition of Chasewater Parkrun have joined a bid to set an unofficial world record.

Participants were invited to dress up as Die Hard character in a bid to get the most John McClane characters completing a 5km run.

A total of 85 donned their white vests – with some even turning up with a replica of Nakatomi Plaza where the hit film is set.

A spokesperson said:

“We’re still delighted by how successful the Die Hard-themed run was.

“I think it’s safe to say we’ve set an unofficial world record – it will be submitted in the next few days.

“We also had 14 people taking part in the first ever Parkrun with 290 overall walking and jogging their way around Chasewater.”
