Welcome to the world of “Jeffing”. Related StoryWhat is the average walking speed? What does Jeffing mean?

The wheels on the bus go run, run, run... Well, that’s the case for Runner’s World UK, at least. At the 2025 London Landmarks Half Marathon, held on Sunday 6 April, RW felt that wearing appropriate running shoes and race day attire was not enough of a look.

We decided, therefore, to run this popular half marathon dressed as – that’s right – an iconic London bus, in pursuit of a world record.
