So whether you have a desire for adrenaline, knowledge or finding your limits, we’re encouraging everyone to take part.

Last year's theme, Spirit of Adventure (which is also a chapter in Guinness World Records 2020), is central to us at GWR and is something shared among many of our iconic record holders, from round-the-world cyclists, to mountaineers and ultra-marathon runners. But adventure isn't something that's always defined by distance or endurance; everyone's adventure is different. Read about the people from around the globe that set records for GWR Day 2019 in the articles above.
