Wolfpack
A father and his five sons.
Guinness World Record: most family members to complete the World Marathon Majors, the world’s biggest marathons.
What’s coming next
We decided to take things a step further and see if we could make history as the largest family to complete the six Abbott World Marathon Majors.
The World Marathon Majors are the world’s biggest marathons. The pack ran its first race together in Amsterdam in 2014 and its sixth major in Tokyo in 2023. Since then the majors have grown: Sydney joined, Cape Town joins in 2027 and Shanghai may follow. The pack wants all three.
The father is Rodrigo Hernán Lobo Puccio. His sons are Rodrigo, Tomás, Santiago, Agustín and Raimundo Lobo van Wersch.
Races run and to come
The races behind the record, and the three still to come. Amsterdam and Vienna came first, before the majors.
