The longest marathon hugging a tree is 72 hours and was achieved by Truphena Muthoni (Kenya) in Nairobi, Kenya, from 8 to 11 December 2025.
Truphena had previously achieved this record with a time 48 hours, set earlier in 2025.
She told GWR that she took on this latest attempt to "elevate and advocate for the protection of indigenous trees and to honor the wisdom of Indigenous Peoples, whose knowledge systems remain central to global climate solutions."
She hope to inspire people to fall in love with nature so that conservation work emerges from passion rather than instruction.
