Michigan men play pickleball for record-breaking 28 hours

A pair of Michigan athletes officially broke the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon playing singles pickleball with a 28-hour game.

Grand Rapids residents Brad Haverkamp and Caleb Dang said they took on the record in late November after a previous attempt to break a similar record for playing doubles pickleball fell short in 2024.

The men played for 28 consecutive hours, and were only allowed a 5-minute break each hour.

"I think at a certain point, your brain just shuts off and you're on autopilot," Dang told WZZM-TV. "I might as well have blacked out for the middle 20 hours."

The duo learned this month that evidence from their attempt had been accepted by Guinness World Records and they now officially hold the title for the longest marathon playing pickleball (singles).
