Sam Bodoano Sets Guinness Record with 101 km Bowling Run-Up in England
English cricketer Sam Bodoano set a new Guinness World Record by running 101.38 km from Lord's Cricket Ground in London to Valley End Cricket Club in Woking before bowling a single delivery. The 22-year-old completed the run in about 14 hours, dressed in full cricket whites and carrying a cricket ball throughout. Upon arrival, he bowled the opening ball of a match to his father, who was the batter. The challenge also raised nearly £6,000 for the Ruth Strauss Foundation.
