He became the first person to run seven marathons in seven continents in seven months in 1997. Guiness created a new world record for the feat, "the fastest time to run marathons on each of seven continents" or "the Triple Seven" for his record and certified him as a world record holder on Jan. 1999.

In 2000, he became the first non-North American resident to run marathons in all 50 states plus DC. He has run in 51 countries.

His short-term goal is to enjoy 500 marathons in 100 countries by year 2010 and middle-term goal is to enjoy 1,000 marathons in 250 countries by 2049.

His Ecomarathon Mission is: "We can live in peace, we can live in Harmony and we can live together."
