Tokyo School Break Guinness Record For Tied-leg Race
An elementary school in Tokyo named Ushigomenakano in the Shinjuku-ku district has broken the Guinness world record for the most amount of people participating in a single tied-leg race! The 50 meter walk was completed by 117 people, or 118 legs which included students, parents and teachers of the school.
The planned event was done to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the school’s founding. The previous record was held at 77 people which was set in England on September last year.
