Tue 07 Feb, 2012


Richmond and the Alannah and Madeline Foundation have joined forces to combat schoolyard bullying, planning a World Record attempt at the ME Bank Centre.

‘Push up for your mates’ will attempt to assemble as many Tiger fans as possible on Punt Road Oval, to break the world record for the most number of people performing push-ups at the one time.

The event will take place on Friday, February 24, after an open Richmond training session that starts at 3pm. Participants must arrive prior to 4pm to register for the world record.

I presume that a lack of fanfare would indicate that the record was not broken?

About a week before the attempt, Kingy said on MMM that there was currently no record standing but required a minimum of 250 people to qualify. Sounds like there was 400'ish so now the official count and waiting is a mere formality.
