ATVers urged to signup now to take back Guinness World Record for Longest ATV Parade

Wed, 02 May 2012 18:40:00 UT

In June 2009, Arrowhead region outdoor enthusiasts rode their all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) into the Guinness Book of World Records. The folks on the four-wheelers were part of the All-Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota (ATVAM)’s successful attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the World's Longest ATV Parade. Those riders were part of a record-breaking parade of 1,632 ATVs in the city of Silver Bay.

The title was short-lived, however. In the fall of 2010, the state of Utah broke the Minnesota record with 1,870 ATVs. So ATVAM plans to take back the world record and northland ATVers are once again invited to take part.
