The marathon came to an end at 2:00 PM today, with the final measurement confirming that the record was smashed in just 67 and a half hours—a full 9.5 hours faster than the previous attempt.
This massive achievement was led by the Kummissjoni Armar within the Soċjetà Filarmonika Maria Mater Gratiae Żabbar A.D. 1883, who pulled off this spectacular feat with dedication, precision, and pure festa spirit.
Another record in the books for Malta, well done!
