TP lays claim to new Guinness World Record
|
The claim for the
Largest Human
Wheelbarrow Race
surpassed the earlier record by over 300
participants. The
record is pending
verification by Guinness World
Records. |
The evening of April 24 saw 1,378
students, staff and guests of Temasek Polytechnic (TP) laying claim to a new
Guinness World Record for the Largest
Human Wheelbarrow Race. This feat surpassed the record set in September
2008 by a school in Melbourne with
1,044 participants.
The participants of the Human
Wheelbarrow Challenge @ TP also
successfully set four new entries in
the Singapore Book of Records for
the Fastest Human Wheelbarrow
Race, the Human Wheelbarrow
Endurance Challenge, the Fastest
Human Wheelbarrow Relay Race and
the Longest Human Wheelbarrow
Challenge — 74 people in all.
This event marked the end of freshmen
orientation and the beginning of
the new academic year. Other than
welcoming the freshmen into the TP
family, the event also aimed to further
strengthen the TP camaraderie. |
