MTs to Try for Massage World Record

Calling all massage therapists in the Kansas City area! On September 17, event organizer Massage Envy is looking for 500 MTs to break the World Record for “Most People Being Massaged” preceding the baseball game between the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

The current record stands at 263 massages and is held by Tourism Victoria Australia, who, in 2010, eclipsed the previous record of 167 that was set in Washington, D.C., at the Marine Corps Marathon. Guinness World Records staff will be at the event to ensure that the massages last for at least five minutes and that none of the therapists take a break during that time.

Therapists who participate in the attempt will receive tickets to the game, free parking, a commemorative T-shirt, and a gift package from Massage Envy. Special tickets are available for people who want to receive massage and become a part of the world record, and a portion of those ticket sales will go to benefit the Arthritis Foundation.
