So far, the keen fridge-runner has raised £4,284 of his £10,000 target.
He should have got the police to sponsor him - like a reverse chugger!
I can't help but think about how dead this guy would be if he were black and in the US.
Kudos to this guy for going all the way with his fridge.
Man's just cosplaying as his favourite Monster drinking parcel delivery man.
I mean, he should obviously carry the receipt. Lol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man who hopes to break the world record for running the London Marathon with a fridge-in-tow was stopped by the police whilst training for his challenge.
According to the runner, Daniel Fairbrother, 34, was stopped by police officers in Stevenage after they accused him of stealing the fridge.
Mr Fairbrother, an oak merchant, is hoping to break the world record for the “fastest marathon carrying a household appliance (white goods)”.
Mr Fairbrother says the officer wound down his window to shake his hand and wished him good luck.
Mr Fairbrother’s world-record feat was nearly foiled at the first hurdle when he initially was not given a place to run the London marathon with Diabetes UK.
The marathon runner has named the fridge Tallulah after the Cool Runnings bobsleigh and has documented his progress on his Instagram and TikTok handle @c00lrunnins.

Plot twist: the fridge contains helium and it actually makes him lighter.
