Ahmedabad’s Jesal Trivedi, 47, has earned a Guinness World Record for completing a 50 km run while carrying a 40-pound (18.14 kg) backpack in just eight hours and 50 minutes.
A former heavyweight boxing champion turned coach, Trivedi accomplished the remarkable feat ahead of the bSafal Marathon 2025, proving that age is no barrier to fitness. His mission: to inspire others to focus on sustainable strength and endurance rather than chasing purely aesthetic goals.
