It’s official! Huge thank you to @bart.gov for all of their support throughout this journey, I’m so happy our record will be hanging in the board room for everyone to see!

There is a Guinness World Record certificate hanging in the BART Board Room!

In March 2024, a group of seven UC Berkeley students and friends accomplished a BART speedrun in 5 hours, 47 minutes, and 42 seconds. Guinness has officially certified this BART speedrun.

A casual introduction for the non-enthusiast, a pretty fun read!

Oh and @horusthelocal.bsky.social was interviewed for the piece! What a homie! Let’s ride some trains together again soon! 🫡🚆🏃
8 hours on BART? I tried the latest transit trend, and it almost broke me
Why are so many transit fans attempting the Bay Area Rapid Transit speedrun? I tried it and it nearly broke me.
