Requirements Truphena Muthoni Needs To Enter Guiness Book After Setting New 72-Hour World Record

Young environmental activist Truphena Muthoni successfully set a new world record for the longest time spent continuously hugging a tree, clocking an astonishing 72 hours at the Nyeri County Governor’s office grounds. Moments after concluding her marathon effort, the 22-year-old was promptly whisked away by ambulance from the scene to undergo necessary health checks and receive nourishment, having spent three days and nights exposed to the cold with little sustenance.

Muthoni’s feat, a silent act of environmental activism, surpassed her own previous record of 48 hours and drew a jubilant crowd of supporters who had travelled from all over the country.

Brave Nights and Community Support

Truphena’s journey was challenging; she had to brave continuous exposure to the elements, including rainy nights, while maintaining her hold on the tree. Despite these difficulties, her determination remained resolute.

Kenyans from all walks of life showed overwhelming support from the first day of her attempt. Several individuals braved the nights alongside her, keeping the young environmentalist company as they cheered her on. Furthermore, Kenyans of goodwill used the moment to shower Muthoni with gifts, including monetary contributions, a high-end smartphone, and an all-expenses-paid holiday, as tokens of admiration for her extraordinary endurance and commitment.

The Guinness World Record Formalization

Having physically broken the record, Muthoni and her team must now embark on the rigorous official documentation process required by Guinness World Records (GWR).

This process demands submitting comprehensive evidence of the entire record-breaking marathon, backed by materials such as:

• Statements from at least two official witnesses.
• Statements from time keepers and surveyors.
• Detailed log books.

The GWR Records Management Team will assess the submitted evidence. The standard review time can take anywhere between five days and 12 weeks. Once the evidence is approved and the attempt is deemed successful, Muthoni will officially be declared a Guinness World Records holder for the 72-hour tree-hugging record and will receive an official certificate. If the attempt is unsuccessful due to insufficient evidence or non-compliance, she will be notified with a detailed explanation.
