Alistair Rutherford, known more widely as The Running Viola, is a British athlete, musician and television personality. He is a current double Guinness World Record holder for the fastest marathon and the fastest half marathon dressed as a musical instrument.[1][2]

Career

Originally from Liverpool, Rutherford studied as a violist at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, graduating in 2017. The concept of The Running Viola came to him as an idea to raise money for arco, a charity providing musical education for children in South Africa in conjunction with Birmingham City University and the Morris Isaacson Centre for Music.[3][4][5] He has since become the manager of the project.
