THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES
(If you want to break a record that is published in a
record book or governed by an international authorithy,
there may be other or additional rules. See here for more
information.)
- A standard treadmill exercise fitness machine should
be used for the attempt.
- The setting of the machine is at the discretion of the
competitor (but using downhill mode is not an option).
- It is not permitted to lean on the "handle-bar".
- The belt must be strictly stopped before the atemptee
leaves the treadmill.
- The venue for the record attempt must be open to the
general public for the duration of the attempt
- Rest breaks may be taken at the discretion of the
competitor but they are included within the time for the
attempt. The clock does not stop. For example, if the 24
hrs-event starts at 11 am on Monday, it must finish at
11am on Tuesday.
- For the distance records (100 km, 100 miles etc.), two
timekeepers should time the attempt with highly accurate
stopwatches.
- A log book should show the time taken for rest breaks
as well as either the distances after each hour or the
times after each completed kilometre or mile.
- A calibration certificate for the treadmill and two
signed statements by at least two sports referees should
be provided.
Corrections and information about new record attempts is
more than welcome. Please send an e-mail to info@recordholders.org.
