First held in 2004 to mark Guinness World Records becoming the best-selling copyright book of all time, GWR Day is now a much-anticipated event each year that has inspired some iconic record-breaking achievements. So whether you have a desire for adrenaline, knowledge or finding your limits, we’re encouraging everyone to take part.
Most people are familiar with the Guinness Book of World Records. First published in 1955, an annual edition of the popular book has been published every year since. The book contains amazing human achievements as well as incredible animal feats. Some of the categories featured include food and drink, the human body, gaming, nature, structures, marathons, and mass participation.
Guinness World Records Day goes back to November 10, 1951, when Sir Hugh Beaver, the manager of Guinness Breweries in Ireland, got into an argument about the fastest game bird in Europe. Because there were no available references to help him win his case, he decided the world needed a book of records. The Guinness Book of World Records was first published in 1955. Years later in 2004, the first-ever Guinness
World Records Day (GWR Day) was held. This was the year that The Guinness Book of World Records became the best-selling copyright book of all time.
