[PRESS RELEASE – Sydney, Australia, December 2nd, 2024]

On a November morning, when the clock struck 12:00 AM, a global movement took its first steps. Thousands of people laced up their sneakers, opened their STEPN and STEPN GO apps, and set out on a journey to unite the world —one step, one mile, one heartbeat at a time.

November 23 was the day they 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. These are ambitious goals—yet the resilience and determination of the community continue to prove unwavering.

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, 42,656 runners completed their mile. Some ran with friends, others with family, and many did it solo. But no matter where they were, or how they did it, they were part of something much bigger. Together, they were moving as a united community. Every step was a step toward history, a step toward proving what they were capable of.

Highlights That Defined the Journey

There were runners recording their milestones, sharing their excitement, and posting videos that brought smiles to many. People ran in places never seen, in weather that would make anyone want to stay inside, and yet the energy stayed high, 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.
