The event was organised by Yorkshire Cancer Research and has been verified by Guinness World of Records, everyone taking part will receive a certificate from Guinness. The organisers managed to raise £50,000 from the race, held at the Don Valley Bowl and the money will be split between three charities, Yorkshire Cancer Research, Weston Park Hospital and Cavendish Cancer Care.
