Gladys Burrill wasn't thinking about breaking a world record when she power-walked and jogged through the Honolulu Marathon at age 92.
But Burrill, a part-time Hawaii resident nicknamed the "Gladyator," learned soon after finishing the December 12 race with a time of nine hours and 53 minutes that she likely qualified for the recognition.
Guinness World Records confirmed Burrill's accomplishment on Saturday, and the Hawaii House of Representatives honoured her with a certificate and lei during a ceremony on Monday.
