Thank you for sending us the details of your recent record attempt for 'run from Leeds to London'. We are afraid to say that we are unable to accept this as a Guinness World Record.
We receive over 60,000 enquiries a year from which only a small proportion are approved by our experienced researchers to establish new categories. These are not 'made up' to suit an individual proposal, but rather 'evolve' as a result of international competition in a field, which naturally accommodates superlatives of the sort that we are interested in. We think you will appreciate that we are bound to favour those that reflect the greatest interest.
Guinness World Records has absolute discretion as to which Guinness World Record applications are accepted and our decision is final. Guinness World Records may at its discretion and for whatever reason identify some records as either no longer monitored by Guinness World Records or no longer viable.
Once again thank you for your interest in Guinness World Records.
Welcome to the page about my attempt to run from my home town (Otley, Yorkshire) to London to raise funds in aid of Orchid ... a distance of over 218 miles.
Orchid is the only UK registered cancer charity to focus entirely on the male-specific cancers; prostate, penile and testicular. They exist to save lives and suffering caused by these diseases by funding medical research and promoting awareness about them.
On this page I'll post details of all my training along with photos, maps, links, etc as appropriate. Apart from links to other pages on this site the first link below is to my page on bmycharity which will make it easier for you to donate.
The second link below is to Orchid.
