That guy was interviewed before the start, was going for the world record for 'carrying a household appliance' across marathon distance.
It apparently has to be over 25kg and he said it weighed 26kg which made me wonder if he was allowed to shave bits off or they had to remain factory standard.
My mate did Plymouth (I think, maybe Bristol) Mara with a fridge on his back a few years ago - have to check what his time was. Pretty sure he had no idea there was a record.
Edit - just checked, it was only a half-mara. Lightweight.
That's very light for a washing machine, normally they weigh double that. Possibly removed the massive lump of concrete that most of them have to stop them vibrating away.
