Hurray : Hilda Baci Awarded Guinness Record for World’s Longest Cooking Marathon

Congratulations Hilda Baci, for setting a new Guinness World Record of 93 hours and 11 minutes for the longest marathon cooking.

This is a classic example of shooting BEYOND the target to guarantee reaching your

desired goals no matter what life throws.

To beat Indian Chef Lata Tondon's 87 hrs 45 mins, Hilda cooked for 100 hours, but the GWR team chalked off almost 7 hours for miscalculation in the time she took to rest through the duration of the cooking record attempt.

The 26-year-old Nigerian chef began on Thursday 11 May and continued through to Monday 15 May, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.

Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.

As with all ‘longest marathon’ records, the participant is permitted a five-minute rest break for every continuous hour of activity. These rest breaks can be accumulated if not taken. They were the only times Hilda could use the bathroom or sleep during the attempt.
