The current record for the world’s longest massage is held by a South African, Alastair Galpin.

Galpin completed the task in 25 hours and 4 minutes in Indonesia in November 2015.

A popular chef, Hilda Baci, had pulled off a 100-hour attempt to set a record for the longest cooking marathon.

Hilda Baci challenged the record of 87 hours 45 minutes previously set by an Indian, Lata Tondon, in 2019.

The chef was later certified by the Guinness World Records.
