Update: Brits Set New World Record for NYC Subway

A few weeks ago I posted about a group of friends from England who broke the World Record for visiting NYC Subway stops. You can read that story here.  Adham Fisher, who I met during his first attempt, sent me a great image of him accepting the official world record certificate in his NYC Subway Girl T-shirt! 

Adham rocking my shirt and his world record!

Also, I wrote that the world record included the Staten Island Rail, (SIR), however, Adham informed me that, while he and his team did ride the SIR, it was not a included in the world record.

Thanks again Adham and good luck on breaking more world records in the future! 

New Guinness World Record set for NYC Subway

In 2012, I met Adham Fisher in Union Square as he attempted to break the world record for fastest time traveling through New York City's subway system. Unfortunately, in 2012, he was unable to beat the last recorded world record, and he continued on his journey in other cities, including Toronto, Boston, and Chicago. 

In 2013, Adham and a few friends mapped out a superior route, including the Staten Island Rail, and finally set a new world record with the help of the navigation app Kickmap. 

Last week the  Guinness Book of World Records announced the news.

The fastest time to travel the entire New York City Subway is 22 hr 26 min 02 sec and was achieved by Andi James, Steve Wilson, Peter Smyth, Martin Hazel, Glen Bryant and Adham Fisher (all UK) between 18 and 19 November 2013.

When I met Adham I asked him my favorite question with a twist, "What inspires you to break this world record?" Check out his answer below and congratulations Adham!
