12-hour relay race over 100 meters running
Veszprém, Megyeház Square
Saturday, 21 March 2026 08:00 We know that Padua is one of Europe's oldest university cities, and as such, it never stays in its comfort zone. Nothing proves this better than the fact that in 2013, they decided to set the bar high and, with the participation of 2,405 people, broke the world record for the highest number of people to complete a 12-hour 100-meter relay race. We want to surpass this commendable achievement on March 21, proving that Veszprém and its region are also capable of creating exemplary community sporting achievements on a global scale, Galileo or no Galileo.
Running with high knee lifts running
Veszprém, Old Town Square
Saturday, 21 March 2026 09:30 Large-scale, synchronized community activities are common in Hong Kong, so we can't even imagine what could tie this seemingly easy-to-set record to them. They probably did it on top of a skyscraper—but that's their problem. Old Town Square is perfect for us, as while at least 673 of us are warming up for the day, the task is to do high knee lifts for 30 seconds, and we won't even notice that we've bagged our first world record.
Stationary running running
Veszprém, Old Town Square
Saturday, 21 March 2026 14:00 In 2016, Melbourne showed that progress isn't always measured by distance. 2,195 people ran at the same time, in one place, side by side. That's what we're doing now, because the beauty of running in place is that none of us can be faster or slower than the others. There is no room for competition here, only willpower counts. Let's prove to the world that at least 2,196 of us believe that even when running in place, we can still share a common direction.
Hopping on one leg running
Veszprém, Old Town Square
Saturday, 21 March 2026 16:00 With 1,303 participants, Barcelona proved that balance is not only a physical issue, but also a social one. Twenty seconds may not seem like much time, but jumping on one leg with full focus can feel like an eternity—but perhaps that is the point: paying attention. Deep breaths, concentration, and shared consciousness, just like in Stranger Things. If we can tune into each other, we will surely succeed. When you have 20 seconds, try it at home on your own, then come on March 21 and let's do it together, as a group.
