UNILAG Student Sets Record for Longest Catwalk
A student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Ololade Ayelabola, has set a remarkable new milestone in the Guinness World Records by covering the longest distance ever walked by a model.
Her inspiring feat saw her complete a 130.62-kilometer catwalk, surpassing her original goal of 120 kilometers.
Ayelabola’s journey began on October 1st at UNILAG’s indoor sports center, where she set out to achieve the record-breaking walk. Initially aiming for 120 kilometers, she pushed herself further, adding an additional 10 kilometers to her total distance.
Over the course of her challenge, she walked an impressive 2,058 laps within the sports center.
In a post on Instagram, Ayelabola expressed the deeper significance behind her attempt, stating that it was about more than just setting a personal record.
She highlighted her mission to break boundaries for models, particularly those held back by societal expectations and rigid industry standards.
“This walk is not just for me. It’s for every model who has been boxed in by stereotypes,” she shared.
“I also want to showcase the creativity and richness of Nigeria’s fashion industry to the global stage.”
Although Ayelabola’s extraordinary achievement has already drawn widespread attention, it is still awaiting official verification from the Guinness World Records.
If confirmed, she will surpass the previous record held by Roberta Brown and Lorraine McCourt, who walked 114.4 kilometers in Dublin, Ireland, on September 21, 1983.
Her remarkable determination and desire to spotlight Nigerian creativity underscore the broader impact of her accomplishment, demonstrating that it’s possible to redefine the limitations imposed by the fashion world and present a new narrative to the global audience.
