  The Guinness world record for the longest marathon playing kickball is 50 hr 00 min by the Mercy Project (USA) at Community Park in Rowlett, Texas, USA.

Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the longest beach volleyball marathon: 25 hr 39 min, achieved by Mateusz Baca, Sebastian Lüdke, Tomasz Olszak, and Wojciech Kurczynski (all Germany) in Görlitz, Germany.
