High Runner

Highgate Park : More local news and events from in and around the Highgate Park Davenport area as Orlando's Rory Helzer, who was believed to have left the course during Sunday's Space Coast Marathon, actually finished the 26.2-mile course -- on a pair of 44-inch stilts. Helzer was attempting to set new world records in the one mile, 5K, 8K, 10K, half-marathon and marathon. His one-mile time of 12 minutes, 57 seconds came up short of the record, which is 12:23. His final time of 9 hours, 22 minutes, 10 seconds also did not better the world record time of 8:25.

But he did finish the race, and he received his finisher medal.

Race director Denise Piercy said there was some confusion when Helzer was spotted stopping, sitting down in a truck and taking his stilts off. It wasn't until later in the day that word came back that Helzer still was on the course.
