This wasn’t just any day. This was the day we set out to break not just one, but two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles: one for the most users to complete a remote one-mile distance in 24 hours and one for the most users to complete a remote one-mile distance in one hour. Lofty goals, no doubt—but if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that our community is unstoppable.
A Global Effort
As the world turned from night to day, runners and walkers from every corner of the globe stepped forward. From the busy streets of New York to the serene beaches of Bali, from the cold winds of Norway to the lovely boulevards of Paris—this was no ordinary run. It was a global movement.
One by one, each of you completed your mile. Some ran with friends, others with family, and many did it solo. But no matter where you were, or how you did it, you were part of something much bigger.
Together, 42,656 of us were moving as a united community. Every step was a step toward history, a step toward proving what we were capable of.
The Moments That Made It Special
We saw runners recording their milestones, sharing their excitement, and posting videos that made us all smile.
People ran in places we’ve never seen, in weather that would make anyone want to stay inside, and yet the energy stayed high. Why? Because this was about more than just a run. It was about belonging, about being part of a global community that lifts each other up and strives for greatness.
We saw the hashtag #STEPNGWR fill up with proud moments from every corner of the world. Videos of users pounding the pavement, screenshots of completed miles, and photos of smiling faces crossing the virtual finish line. Every single one of you helped us reach our goal.
Breaking Records, Together
Then came the moment we had all been waiting for. The announcement. We did it! We broke not one, but two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles together:
GWR title for most users to complete a remote one-mile distance in 24 hours
GWR title for most users to complete a remote one-mile distance in one hour
The cheers from around the world echoed across the internet, and the energy was electric.
42,656 STEPN and STEPN GO users, united by a shared goal, had made history. You became record holders—not just as individuals, but as part of a community that knows no limits.
A Badge of Honour
To celebrate your efforts, every participant who completed their one-mile run received their exclusive Guinness World Records badge in their STEPN app. This badge symbolises your determination, your commitment, and the fact that you were part of something unforgettable.
The Journey Continues
We’ve proven what we can achieve when we come together, and this is only the start of the milestones we’ll reach.
There will be more challenges, more records to break, and more ways for us to push the boundaries of what we can do as a community. But one thing will never change: the spirit of unity and support that drives everything we do.
Thank you for being part of this journey. For every step, every mile, every post, and every cheer—you made this happen.
Together, we are unstoppable.
Here’s to the next adventure.
Ready? STEPN… GO!
