A Bristol woman who has dressed up as a water bottle to go for daily runs for a year-and-a-half to raise awareness for plastic pollution is set to tackle the London Marathon in the costume as she wants to advocate without any 'doom and gloom'.
Nikki Hawkes decided to set herself the challenge in September 2021, during a coronavirus lockdown, to run 100 miles in 10 days dressed as a water bottle – but she has not stopped since.
The 28-year-old’s costume is made from a 10-year-old vodka bottle costume, from her family’s dressing up box, which she repurposed into a water bottle, stitching on plastic pollution awareness signs.
