In an extraordinary display of skill, stamina, and sheer determination, a group of four fearless Londoners has etched their names into history by shattering the Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Playing Padel. Over the course of two gruelling days on the 25th and 26th of September, these players, aptly dubbed ‘the awesome foursome’, showcased unmatched resilience and sporting prowess, clocking nearly 40 hours of continuous padel playing.

The event unfolded at a state-of-the-art padel court nestled in the heart of the City of London’s Crescent, EC3. This new court, brought to life by the Central London Alliance, supported by Blue Orchid Hospitality and Global Hospitality Services, in collaboration with Aldgate Connect BID and EC BID, served as the battleground for this historic feat. The court not only broke records but also breathed life into a lesser-known space near Tower Hill, aligning with the City of London Corporation’s vision of creating vibrant destinations within the city.
