Longest tenpin bowling marathon world record set by Stephen Shanabrook Plano, Texas USA
Stephen Shanabrook, 24, physical therapy technician of Plano, bowled at The Plano Super Bowl, (which is open 24 hours), for five days and five hours (125 hrs) - setting the new world record for the Longest tenpin bowling marathon.
Shanabrook bowled an average of five games an hour, and saw his scores range from 5 to 198 this week at the 24-hour Plano Super Bowl.
"I've always liked bowling, but you just get into a routine and it gets mundane," Shanabrook said. "But then you've got to think back to why you started this in the first place, and that's for the charities it is supporting."
Proceeds generated by the event went to charity, allowing Shanabrook to take part in a hobby that he loves while also helping out those in need.
The previous Guinness World Record for the Longest tenpin bowling marathon was 120 hours by Andy Milne (Canada) at Classic Bowl, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada from 24-29 October 2005.
