Overall: Looks mostly good. The only issue I see, @Nayyn:, is that the article says both that Green has run more than 150 marathons in a rhinoceros suit to raise awareness for conservation initiatives. and As of the 2025 London Marathon, Green has run 113 marathons in the same 10kg rhino suit. – is it 113 or over 150?

Thanks BeanieFan11 for reviewing. The world record refers to 113 marathons in this specific three dimensional suit. But he's done more than 150 in total for conservation purposes. Not all the marathons hes done were apparently counted for the record. I updated the lede so it was more clear with the text. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for reviewing!
