Last week, as I was planning to follow up with Guinness regarding the status of their review of Parvaneh Moayedi’s and Larry Macon’s records.
I had once again, requested a review after I shared my findings after traveling to San Antonio to witness one of Parvaneh’s races firsthand.
I found that Parvaneh’s records were no longer searchable on The Guinness site.
Most Marathon Run in One Year (Female) – Parvaneh Moayedi – 168
Most consecutive days to run an official marathon (female) – Parvaneh Moayedi – 17
If you click on the above links, you can see that the records are no longer published.
I contacted Guinness, and they notified me that a statement is forthcoming.
After a few months of our research, our Records Management Team has made some adjustments.
I will be following up with an official update and statement for you regarding the situation.
It is not clear at this time if the previous record holders will be re-instated. I will publish Guinness’s statement once they provide one. I will also ask that they address Larry Macon’s Record as well.

Great work as always Derek. Keep it up!
Kudos to you Derek! While some people may never understand why this work matters, it truly does. Running, especially to win awards and recognition, takes a lot of time and hard work. It is cruel to the people who have legitimately earned this to be pushed aside for anyone. Thank you for shining a light and hopefully discouraging people who may have been considering running dishonestly.
Good job Derek!
Good job on NC24.
Oh to her partner in crime, Macon.
