Well, after a couple of months of solid preparation and a lot of buzz in the darting community – they did it!
Lenny McNevin and Paul O’Shaugnessey from Oshawa, Ontario set the new Guinness World Record for longest darts marathon at 36 hours 10 minutes and 10 seconds.
Their new record, is 4 hours longer than the previous mark, set only 2 weeks earlier, and a full 6 hours longer than the record set earlier this summer that was the original inspiration behind it all.
During the course of what really was a marathon session, the pair played over 400 games, scored over 300,000 points, and saw 250-300 people in attendance through the weekend, including a new crew from CTV Television.
Since there weren’t any Guinness officials on hand, the results will have to be verified, but from what we know about the meticulous preparation that’s just a matter of routine.
Congrats guys, and thanks for inspiring us all!
