The longest fencing marathon relay is 15 hr 2 min 5 sec, and was achieved by the James Williams Fencing Community (UK), in London, UK, on 9 November 2024.
This record was attempted in honour of the late James Williams, three time Olympic Sabre Fencer, who was an inspiration to British fencing as a competitor and as a coach, as well as a Director of Public Health in the UK.
The James Williams Foundation is a support service set up by Laurynn Williams for those affected by amyloidosis, whether it be patients themselves or their families, as well as working to advocate for the early detection and faster diagnosis of amyloidosis.
The event took place with 188 Fencers, including those from the GB National and Olympic teams (past and present) and club fencers.
