Morris Dancing Marathon World Champion Attempt @ Abingdon Market Place
Saturday, 12 April 2025
- Time
- 05:00 - 16:00
After some back-and-forth with Guinness World Records—and a lot of optimism—Duncan decided to take on an epic challenge: a solo morris dancing marathon. He’ll be dancing for as long as he possibly can.
If you’ve ever seen morris dancing, you’ll know it’s essentially high-energy jogging on the spot. Which means even an hour is exhausting. But Duncan is aiming for much, much longer.
He’s laced up his trainers, trained for months, and by the time he completes this challenge, he will have effectively "danced" over 1,000km (even if he never moves from the spot!).
And you can be part of it!
The dancing starts early, but the big moment—smashing the record—should happen around 4:00 pm. Come down, cheer Duncan on, and be part of something incredible!
If you can’t make it in person, you can still be part of the challenge in a powerful way: by donating.
