I HAVE A GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

Firstly, let me clarify what I meant by the title of this article. Let me clear things up by clearly stating that I was technically a participant in the Guinness World Record for Most users to complete a remote 10 km in 24 hours and I’m not sure if it’s even an official record yet. This event was organised by Virtual Runners and it was for the 19th September 2021. I decided to join this event since it didn’t seem too hard as I’ve run 10 km many times in the past.

In actual fact, I ran 13 km on Saturday and then 10 km on Sunday morning at 8 am for this event. However, I found out that due to the time difference I needed to run after the 19th September 12:00pm and before the 20th September 12:00pm. So I think my run on Saturday wouldn’t have counted to I ran again on Monday and submitted both times.

Once your run is verified you receive a certificate and here’s mine:

In any case, I thought I just make sure I contribute as a participant and join this remote event. I guess I can add this to my list of achievements.
