Guinness World Records has confirmed that Prakash is the official record holder for the “Fastest crossing of Qatar on foot by a male.” He completed the incredible journey in just 1 day, 6 hours, and 31 minutes on March 1, 2024.
This accomplishment is the culmination of years of dedication and training for Prakash. His route crossed the diverse Qatari landscape, taking him from bustling city centers to remote desert areas.
