Ghanaian Man Embarking On Longest Walking Marathon Arrives In Accra
Ghanaian man, Seidu Rafiwu who is competing for the Guinness World Records title for the longest walk by an individual, successfully finished his journey at the Independence Square in Accra today.
Rafiwu began his trek on Saturday, April 27, and completed the 383 km walk in 96 hours from Techiman to Accra.
He concluded his record-breaking attempt earlier today at Independence Square in Osu, Accra. Despite facing challenges, including being rushed to the hospital due to exhaustion on Saturday, Rafiwu persevered and achieved his goal.
However, he later debunked the rumours and explained that the said viral video of him receiving treatment in the ambulance was part of his scheduled recovery session by his medical team.
America’s Jesse Casteneda holds the current walking marathon record, which was achieved in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, in September 1976 by covering a distance of 228.930 kilometres. Ghanaians are optimistic about Seidu Rafiwu’s upcoming attempt.
