Guinness Book of World Record Rules:

DEFINITION OF RECORD #44642
This record is for the greatest distance rowed within 24 hours.

This is to be attempted by a team of up to six people.

GUIDELINES FOR ‘ROWING – GREATEST DISTANCE ON FLAT WATER IN 24

HOURS’  

1. The team may be made up of no less than two and no more than six people. It

is up to the team to decide the rowing combinations i.e. all six may row at once
or be split into relay shifts.

2. The same boat must be used for the entire event.

3. The record attempt must take place on a pre-measured circuit on a body of
water. 

4. If the record attempt takes place on a river, at least 50% of the paddling should

be against the flow of the river (thus, for example, if 100 km are covered during
the course of the event, at least 50 km must be upstream). It is recommended
that the boat is paddled back and forth along a length of river no more than 5
km in length.

5. Distances are calculated by multiplying the number of laps by the circuit length.

6. The circuit must be professionally measured and the method and person

responsible for this must be made clear in the claim.

7. Paddling must resume at the same place it ended after breaks.

Guinness World Record: Most in 24 hours template

 

§ The event must take place in a public place or in a venue open to public

inspection.

§ The event is continuous. The clock does not stop. 24 hours means a complete

24-hour cycle including rest breaks. For example, if the event starts at 12 noon
on Monday, it must finish at 12 noon on Tuesday.

§ The participant may take as many breaks as he/she wishes, but the clock must

not stop at any time for any reason. The point where the journey breaks must
be marked and the participant must restart from that point.

§ A loud start and finish signal recognized by all participants must be used.

§ Experienced timekeepers (e.g. from a local athletics club) must time the
attempt with stopwatches accurate to 0.01 seconds.
