GUINNESS WORLD RECORD SOFTBALL MARATHON

This team is planning an attempt to break the existing Guinness Longest Softball Game (Softball Marathon) record during the upcoming year 2010.

The existing record (which is in the process of being filed with The Guinness World Record organization) was obtained in 2009 in Wasketeau, Alberta (Canada), and is 115 hours and 3 min long.

Our goal is to play for 120 hours; the attempt to break the record will take place at the softball field “Francesco Nespoli” of Caronno Pertusella (VA) – Italy.

Caronno Pertusella is a small town 20 Km north of Milan, close to Milan Malpensa International airport, and easily reachable by public transportation. This field hosted the 2003 European Women Fastpitch Softball Championship and the 2006 European Cup Softball Fastpitch - Women "A" tournaments.

The game will start on June 1st 2010, at 20.00 and will finish on June 6th 2010 at 20.00.

The game will be played by about 50 players, who will remain at the softball field during the whole game. We will provide food, beverages, tents and other facilities (access to locker rooms and showers) for all players. The Participants will receive all of these accommodations free of charge. Transportation to and from the field will be at their (players) expense.

The final decision for the attempt will be made by the end of November 2009, depending on how many players sign up for the event.

We are asking players from European countries, both male and female, who might be interested in playing in “the longest softball game” to send the attached application form by e-mail to the address provided here.

Players will be chosen on first come, first served basis. Every applicant will be notified whether he or she has been accepted or not.
