Jake Quickenden has revealed how he’s planning to go the toilet during the 2023 London Marathon, while stating that he won’t be stripping off in front of the crowd in order to do so.
The 34-year-old will be taking part in the race dressed as a bone to raise awareness and money for cancer charity Sarcoma UK.
But when discussing how he plans to relieve himself on the gruelling 26.2 mile run, Jake said: “Mate! I’m not going to be wearing a nappy!”

Divulging further, he continued: “When I did the half marathon, they’ve got little portaloos on the side of the road so you just got to jump in one of them so I did that a few times.

“So I imagine I’ll be stopping off for a few pitstops but I am dressed as a giant bone so I don’t know how that’s gonna go down and how I’ll get my outfit off before I cr*p my pants.”
Sharing his thoughts on former long-distance runner Paula Radcliffe who famously stopped by the roadside during the 2005 London Marathon to relieve herself, Jake insisted he will not be doing the same.
He confessed: “That definitely won’t be me, I won’t be whipping my old boy out at the side of the road!”

Jake will be taking part in the marathon in memory of his brother Oliver who died of bone cancer in 2012 at the age of 19.
When asked if he’s found training for the competition emotional, the SAS: Who Dares Win star said he believes emotions will certainly be running high on the day of the race.
He said:” I think on the day that’s when it will become emotional.

“I think getting over the finish line and doing it for a charity that obviously my little brother passed away with sarcoma, so doing for Sarcoma UK and hopefully raising loads of money.
“I think I’m on about 5-6 grand at the minute so I would love to get to 10 grand by the day.
“But yeah, I think that it will be emotional and I think running 26 miles will be quite emotional anyway and then put the reason why I’m doing it on top of that – it will be a really special day I think.”
