• Previous Guinness World Record for the Fastest 100km covered on a treadmill by a team of 12 people was set in 2008 in the USA. Record time was 5 hours and 42 mins.
• Our Team of 12 consisted of a mix of professional athletes to Lifeguards and novice runners. The 12 runners were: Craig Alexander, Steve Moneghetti, Michael Prince, John Mergler, Andrew Reid, Adriel Young, Stephen Madden, Clint Kimmins, Dave Matthews, Lisa Corrigan, Trent Woods and Alister Ross.
• The goal was to break the record to raise money and awareness for the Kids Foundation.
• The Treadmill needed to be traveling at above 18.75km/h for the duration to break the record
• The team smashed the record by 18 mins as verified by Chris Sheedy our Guinness Records representative. The average treadmill speed for the last hour alone was 20.5km/hr- thats under 3 minute kms!
