I did a Google search and their record was recognized in January of 2018. The Royals hold the record officially. Great job! As an active duty U. S. Marine I had the privilege of training and serving with them. I would go anywhere with them.

So when a olympic athlete breaks the world record does he have to be wearing the same shorts and running shoes as the previous holder, total bullshit!!! you did it lads, good effort Royal.
@mastermind So what are the rules dictating which records Guinness can accept or refuse ? I think you'll find all the athletics records are featured in the Guinness book of records. So according to your theory Guinness set the rules for every record featured in their book ?
I served 12 years in the US Army and I’m pissed that people in the comments section are arguing about what country is better! This video has nothing to do with that. People can’t you just be happy with theses people accomplishment? I hope they get that ruling overturned!!!
i completely agree! it takes some big ole testicals to say i will fight to the death for my country and train to be a soldier and that is an achievement on its own, then to go the battle for your country shows a true man regardless of country,
Thanks for your service Josh! My country is better than your country ...is BS should be the exclusive reserve of 8 year olds comparing their geography projects, when asked to make up a fictional country. I was attached as a civvie to the british army, and I have nothing but admiration for them. Equally, I've seen American servicemen who were superb, and who I can equally admire.

Usain Bolt mate, yeah we're gonna have to wipe your record because you didn't run it barefoot like they did back in Greece. Yeah, I'm sorry mate. Just how it is. Same kit is needed.
Don't forget the advanced running surfaces nowadays. Modern milers don't have to run on dirt like Bannister. Surely all records on tartan tracks should be outlawed.
Amazing display of valency, effort, and never quit attitude. This is the world record.; I don't care what Guiness says. From a US Marine I say, to the Royal Marines, congratulations.

@bret hammond Mate, if you could run 10 miles in 15 minutes, you would currently be being studied bu scientists trying to figure out how you can run at 40 miles an hour. For reference, the fastest recorded human running speed ever is 27.8 mph, and that was for twenty meters.
My Dad was a Royal Marine in WW2 , Crete,Libya,Ceylon,India, Antwerp. He never spoke a word about what happened, in Australia he would watch the ANZAC parade each year , I know he would have loved to be marching but he was also modest and being in a new Country had no friends and working 6 days a week to support 5 boys and my Mum. Great video and respect to the Royal Marines..

Remember how heavy your suitcase is when you plunge it onto the scale belt at check in and it clocks in just under the 20kg limit. Now strap that to your back and run a marathon with it. Hard as nails.
LOL, professional cream of the crop tree planters use equivalent of 3 marathons a day worth of energy, with 60lbs of saplings hanging off their shoulders, covered in dirt and swarming misquitos.. with a shovel in their hand.. working 6 days a week.. military today is so damn soft.
As the son of 2 WWII era, US Marines, as well as being a Vietnam veteran, I found myself completely captivated by this team’s effort! Tho not as out of breath as they were, I found myself getting light headed as I cheered them thru their last miles! Hearty congratulations on the record finish, lads, & well deserved kudos to you and your commanders for assembling a group that simply would not accept anything other than success! US Marines say, “OOO-RAH!” at such times! OOO-RAH!
Years ago I was a Reno cabby. I loaded three young Brits in my cab who said they just came down from the United States Marine Mountain Warfare Center high in the Sierras, they were British Royal Marines. I asked them what they were doing up there. "Training with our American brothers" they told me.
Jason PriceHow extraordinary. I was working as a petrol pump attendant in Reno back in '05 and I seem to recall a yank taxi driver with 3 British RM passengers. Wow, that's amazingly coincidental.
How is this not being ratified? Surely Guinness would have an observer on site to confirm the record who would have raised any issues about clothing before they set out?!
Guinness is only interested in money. You've got to pay them to send their own independent official out and there are so many other records out there that have shocking standards. Check out Mike Chang on the Guinness youtube channel, 0 reps
Gentlemen... Well done! To those individuals at Guinness World Records two things you need to know. 1st - After seeing these men do what they have done and not get the credit, all I have to say is I WOULDN’T PISS ON YOUR PUBLICATION IF IT WAS ON FIRE! 2nd - Come here to Texas and I can show you what you can do with YOUR RECORDS. To those men in the uniform... There is a open door, a cold beer, and BBQ waiting on this side of the pond. 👏🏻
I must say, this Major Scotty Mills comes across as a really level-headed, intelligent and sincere officer. Alright, his English is not exactly what you'd call posh, but he seems to be the type of man leading by example and not just by loudness. And this is what instills respect into the ordinary squaddie and he will follow such an officer anywhere. And singing the "Lambeth Walk" during a marathon - my goodness... Great leader in charge of great men.
I didn't know trousers could make you be so awesome. I see where I'm going wrong now and I've been wearing the wrong trousers all the time . Thanks Gunness for making me see the error of my ways . These lads could wear any trouser and still have had the same outcome and I hope they repeat this in some No2 dress trousers and smash this record even harder and give you the 2 finger salute . Well done lads amazing effort smashing that previous time
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 and fail terribly, you’ve lost 2 wars to farmers and villagers using predated weapons. There’s also many reasons America couldn’t wage war against a 1st world country like itself.
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 I'd really not make such stupid comments if I were you... But you did. Just because America was late for the 1st and 2nd World War, don't be so keen to start the 3rd.. Besides, unless you are getting help from the allies you seem to hate, you always lose.. There, you're making me sound as bad as you do.. Thanks.
Good videos buddy. Armour is very interesting (challenger 2 pure sex) as you might think... I'm an Englishman. Aircraft could be a little better informed (I'm deffo not having a dig) but good videos none the less
I served in the US Army for 11 years both as enlisted and officer. As far as I’m concerned these magnificent bastards I’m proud to call “friends and allies” BROKE THE RECORD. WELL DONE, MATES!!
When you go for a run and think you're hanging out and want to stop immediately... The fact someone can push themselves so far to the brink of death is absolutely amazing. Glad he was alright in the end! True warrior
@keirfree senior This has nothing to do with military power. If you pick your fights with smaller armies then sure, youre gonna win, this is simply the case with the british army. Also try think about if your comment makes sense before sperging on your keyboard.
when you've been to war with basically every nation on earth you better be good at it. UK's military is small compared to Russia, China, SK, USA etc but for the most part it's one of the best trained.
@R B the only thing stopping Germany from an invasion was air superiority. Hitler knew this and is why he wanted to completely destroy the RAF before any invasion began. The battle of Britain was, however, one of the worst conflicts Britain has experienced on mainland UK soil throughout recent history (last 100 years). But in terms of defending the skies, the RAF's home advantage and ingenuity allowed them to keep putting pilots in planes and planes in the sky. So long as that was the case, any invasion of the mainland wouldn't just be met with a reserve force and one of the greatest (although extremely stretched) navies in the world, but also fighter planes and bombers. I'm not trying to play armchair general with you, but these are my understandings based on documentaries and reading. Perhaps you can allude me to some new information that would make me consider what you've said with more thought?
I always keep a decent distance from anyone wearing that kind of insignia in public - There's no reason why the bloke couldn't be legit, but there are so many lizards buying kit on ebay and then walting around at events now, that it's just impossible to tell. Then again, I ain't going to go poking him in the chest either - A fractured skull on my part may offend.
Omg you guys have my utmost respect well done and hold your heads high be proud of your accomplishment and to all armed forces past and present..... Thank you so much for your service. As an Aussie my dad was in the R.A.A.F and served 24yrs 💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛
Did Wayne Gretzky use the same hockey stick as Gordie Howe and Phil Esposito? Nope. Did the winner of this years Boston Marathon wear the same sneakers as Bill Rogers in the 80's? Nope. Did Serena Williams use the same wooden racket as Billie Jean King? Nope. Guinness has their heads up their World record ARSES.
Wow. Congratulations Marines! What an achievement. I take my beret off to the Royal Artillery team as well, keeping the record for so long. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I got real emotional towards the end, the fact that you have to dig deep to the core when theres nothing left in the tank, is nothing short of a miracle. Truly inspiring and humbling.
I think that the PTI is absolutely brilliant, he's kept their minds off of the gruelling pain by constantly talking to them and making them laugh. This is a perfect example of the Marines mantra of "cheerfulness in the face of adversity."🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
What a load of bollocks wrong trousers on. The boots must be wrong as well and there day sacks so that is a load of bollocks, and I am ex para reg and I am sticking up for booties. It was a massive effort job done.
Not like gear for OTHER sports records has changed over the past hundred years... But hey! Can't have consistency when it means recognising such a fantastic feat of endurance... 🙄
Quite agree Carl... never even thought about boots/socks..... we'll have to include belts and t-shirts as well. Stuff Guinness, the guys knew they broke it.
the lot of you be quiet, they did it in the right kit, they are marines not morones, who cares what bag they used or what trousers they wore you go do it youself then lads
Very proud of our very special Royal Marines, magnificent result and a very inspirational story. A big thank you to you all for everything you do and the sacrifices you have made.
You boys done your Regiment and yourselves proud. You all fought for each other on that hard unthinkable task. Be proud and stand tall. Each one of you, I salute. Comrade in Arms.
Incredible what these lads have accomplished and I absolutely love how they are not friends they are truly brothers Incredible to see the love and determination of these lads i salute every single one of them
@Tiny mod yes up the gunners …. 22 air defence in the 1980s and proud to have served with a fine body of men and proud to have been part of organisation that set a world record and kept it for so long, hopefully one day well get it back
I admire Major Mills. He's a true leader. Oh, and by the way to these morons at Guinness World Records. The mission is to run a marathon as a team with 40 pounds in your backpack and in military gear, the same boots and trousers you would wear in combat. So, I would say mission accomplished.
As a person who has ran 7 marathons in my life. To run to you almost died is because he didn't want to give up until it got really bad. Respect to runners and why they run.
its a wonder these record numpties didn't say you didn't break the record because you set it on smooth ground and cooler conditions and where there was less traffic, especially if they are moaning at what kit they are wearing,
Scotty... what a Beautifull and strong caracter that man has. Greatings from the Netherlands ps. This video learned me a lot, unfortunatly i didn't pas the test when i was 16 years old when i did my military tests in Amsterdam, i know still i needed that discipline in my life, i struggled with drugs and problems growing up. The only thing i can do now is to learn from things like this and be a better man everyday. Thanks again for this motivating video.
Go on lads. You're a brotherhood, a band of brothers. You are the pride of this great nation, an embodiment of the ideals of this country. Digging deep, deeper than anyone else has to and proving just what you are made of. This is what it means to be a British soldier
@@trainboyben7718 and at Military might, wealth via national GDP, technological advancements, cinema and entertainment, largest airforce in the world with the second largest being their navy, defeated the British twice, the list goes on if you wanna talk about nunber ones.

Thank you for sharing this amazing video, I am impressed with the leadership, mental toughness, and dedication displayed by Scotty and the entire Royal Marines.
Joined the Royal Navy with Dave P back in 98, lovely lovely bloke, proper geezer, haven't seen him since at least 99 but still consider him one of the nicest people I have ever met. Hope your well Dave. Teece
So they got the wrong troussers? Really thats the reason? Let those guys who told them its not a record do that run. Always some small letters or something to get out of a record. Bullshit. Record is record. Good job.
An extraordinary effort by all of these guys - not just the eight with the 40lbs, but the support runners carrying water and caffeine tablets etc (it appeared to me that they were all wearing combat fatigues, not lightweight running gear) and Scotty Mills...! Running a marathon while constantly encouraging and engaging the guys. Extraordinary.
AMAZING GROUP OF ROYAL MARINES, I am humbled by the determination to endure together as a team. Who are these people behind the GUINNESS RECORD to tell the world you didn't break the world record? The world watched your video, we here in the Fiji Islands watched your video too. It's record in the hearts and minds of the 8 brave RM , all the supporters and great fans around the world. Hell with the pants they wore it takes guts, the physical and mental toughness to reach the finish line, SOME PEOPLE DREAM OF SUCCESS WHILE OTHERS WAKE UP AND WORK HARD AT IT.
@@klgreload lol PLA has more discipline than american soldier, fitter and sharp. They beat american in few military n police tactical n physical competition after those US ddnt send team to compete.
What battles have the PLA actually fought? All they do is drill. No actual fighting. Useless. PLA just looks good but in reality just a bunch of untrained, starving and abused "fighters"
What absolute bollocks! . In athletics you don’t hear ‘ sorry’ Mr Bolt but we have had to discount your world record time because you wore different shorts than Michael Jordan!!
Damn fine effort. Well Done! Speaking as a Sports Scientist it would have been better if they ditched taking caffeine tablets though. It artificially elevates Heart Rate, so you're further into your Training Reserve. It's a diuretic & it switches off the ability of the body to burn bodyfat. Better to have taken Schizandra & other legal stuff, e.g. certain Chinese /Tibetan herbs. As for Guinness - bloody typical. In 2018 I caught this documentary on British TV called "Paragon". It was about this ex-Royal Marine, from Liverpool, England, who had been blown up in Afghanistan. He was medically discharged, moped around & was wasting away. He got in touch with the Royal Naval Surgeon who had operated on him initially & requested him to amputate one of his legs. Can't recall if this was above or below the knee. The surgeon complied. He then started training & set the goal of attempting the 10Km World Record. After set backs etc. & then progressive training, he made his formal attempt at a proper Running Track, Timers etc. The whole 9yards. He BROKE the World Record, but Guinness failed to ratify it. It's just because it's the British Marines & the business of "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland. That's why. They won't admit it, but that's why. Why didn't Guinness tell them at the start they had to wear 'denims'? Why not the old DMS boots? Why not old bergans as used by SOE/Commandos in WW2?
40:50 "We never leave anyone behind!" Maaaan as a soldier I can relate to that and to the following scenes. Goosebumps!!! Good Job comrades! Greetings from Germany. Still, 2021 my unit will take that record from you XD AND YES AGAIN, in my opinion YOU HOLD THAT RECORD, no matter what trousers!!!
It’s not the trousers they wore, it’s more about the pair of Bollox these lads have swinging in them. What where they supposed to do? Get some old boots from 30 years ago n backpacks n T-shirt’s n trousers. Absolutely ridiculous
I did a Google search and their record was recognized in January of 2018. The Royals hold the record officially. Great job!
As an active duty U. S. Marine I had the privilege of training and serving with them. I would go anywhere with them.

Shaurya Joshi 100km in 16 hours.
,might want a lay down after that
LOL, professional cream of the crop tree planters use equivalent of 3 marathons a day worth of energy, with 60lbs of saplings hanging off their shoulders, covered in dirt and swarming misquitos.. with a shovel in their hand.. working 6 days a week.. military today is so damn soft.
Deplorable D a marathon plus more! 💀💀
That's the Indian Para SF qualifiying speed march.
Well done team! Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4 Cryptology), USN, Retired, 1973-1995.
To the guy struggling at the end! Hitting the wall and still moving forward!! Balls of steel fella, balls of steel!!!
As the son of 2 WWII era, US Marines, as well as being a Vietnam veteran, I found myself completely captivated by this team’s effort! Tho not as out of breath as they were, I found myself getting light headed as I cheered them thru their last miles! Hearty congratulations on the record finish, lads, & well deserved kudos to you and your commanders for assembling a group that simply would not accept anything other than success!
US Marines say, “OOO-RAH!” at such times!
OOO-RAH!
Years ago I was a Reno cabby. I loaded three young Brits in my cab who said they just came down from the United States Marine Mountain Warfare Center high in the Sierras, they were British Royal Marines. I asked them what they were doing up there. "Training with our American brothers" they told me.
What year was this? me and a couple of oppos were there in 2005.
Jason PriceHow extraordinary.
I was working as a petrol pump attendant in Reno back in '05 and I seem to recall a yank taxi driver with 3 British RM passengers.
Wow, that's amazingly coincidental.
That Major is such a genuine and sound guy
How is this not being ratified? Surely Guinness would have an observer on site to confirm the record who would have raised any issues about clothing before they set out?!
Guinness is only interested in money. You've got to pay them to send their own independent official out and there are so many other records out there that have shocking standards. Check out Mike Chang on the Guinness youtube channel, 0 reps
Gentlemen... Well done! To those individuals at Guinness World Records two things you need to know. 1st - After seeing these men do what they have done and not get the credit, all I have to say is I WOULDN’T PISS ON YOUR PUBLICATION IF IT WAS ON FIRE! 2nd - Come here to Texas and I can show you what you can do with YOUR RECORDS. To those men in the uniform... There is a open door, a cold beer, and BBQ waiting on this side of the pond. 👏🏻

I must say, this Major Scotty Mills comes across as a really level-headed, intelligent and sincere officer. Alright, his English is not exactly what you'd call posh, but he seems to be the type of man leading by example and not just by loudness. And this is what instills respect into the ordinary squaddie and he will follow such an officer anywhere. And singing the "Lambeth Walk" during a marathon - my goodness... Great leader in charge of great men.
Ian Soutryer you don’t have to be “posh” to be an officer. He probably started out as a private and worked himself up.
I didn't know trousers could make you be so awesome. I see where I'm going wrong now and I've been wearing the wrong trousers all the time . Thanks Gunness for making me see the error of my ways . These lads could wear any trouser and still have had the same outcome and I hope they repeat this in some No2 dress trousers and smash this record even harder and give you the 2 finger salute . Well done lads amazing effort smashing that previous time
give them the bloody record they deserve it. my dad was in royal marines ww2 and was proud of him as well of them
Agree, with the person as R. I. P.

@@user-kh9nd9iv2t America is literally the only country that can wage war in a huge capacity.
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 and fail terribly, you’ve lost 2 wars to farmers and villagers using predated weapons.
There’s also many reasons America couldn’t wage war against a 1st world country like itself.
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 I'd really not make such stupid comments if I were you... But you did. Just because America was late for the 1st and 2nd World War, don't be so keen to start the 3rd.. Besides, unless you are getting help from the allies you seem to hate, you always lose.. There, you're making me sound as bad as you do.. Thanks.
Tremendous effort and dedication. Admiration from across the Pond from a former US Army Paratrooper.
Hell yes!! Keep it up marines!! 👍
Yup there doing the country proud love your vids also man
Good videos buddy. Armour is very interesting (challenger 2 pure sex) as you might think... I'm an Englishman. Aircraft could be a little better informed (I'm deffo not having a dig) but good videos none the less
Matsimus I’m thinking about going in the marines
Only one marines USMC
Where are the weapons! A speed March is in full fighting order. This is a well done but do it again with proper equipment.
I served in the US Army for 11 years both as enlisted and officer. As far as I’m concerned these magnificent bastards I’m proud to call “friends and allies” BROKE THE RECORD. WELL DONE, MATES!!
They did & thanks
Class Reply Brother !!!
When you go for a run and think you're hanging out and want to stop immediately... The fact someone can push themselves so far to the brink of death is absolutely amazing. Glad he was alright in the end! True warrior
for the relatively small country Britain has one of the best if not the best military in the world
The UK has a rich history of wars.
deffinately doesnt have the best if youre talking about sheer power, but training, yeah id say one of the best if not the best
@keirfree senior This has nothing to do with military power. If you pick your fights with smaller armies then sure, youre gonna win, this is simply the case with the british army. Also try think about if your comment makes sense before sperging on your keyboard.
when you've been to war with basically every nation on earth you better be good at it. UK's military is small compared to Russia, China, SK, USA etc but for the most part it's one of the best trained.
@R B the only thing stopping Germany from an invasion was air superiority. Hitler knew this and is why he wanted to completely destroy the RAF before any invasion began.
The battle of Britain was, however, one of the worst conflicts Britain has experienced on mainland UK soil throughout recent history (last 100 years). But in terms of defending the skies, the RAF's home advantage and ingenuity allowed them to keep putting pilots in planes and planes in the sky. So long as that was the case, any invasion of the mainland wouldn't just be met with a reserve force and one of the greatest (although extremely stretched) navies in the world, but also fighter planes and bombers.
I'm not trying to play armchair general with you, but these are my understandings based on documentaries and reading. Perhaps you can allude me to some new information that would make me consider what you've said with more thought?
Broke the record in my book..Job well done lads
42:36 Special Boat Service veteran. That's badass. Can't believe I only saw this now and it's my 3rd time watching.
I always keep a decent distance from anyone wearing that kind of insignia in public - There's no reason why the bloke couldn't be legit, but there are so many lizards buying kit on ebay and then walting around at events now, that it's just impossible to tell.
Then again, I ain't going to go poking him in the chest either - A fractured skull on my part may offend.
any commonwealth army knows when you see an nco with a singlet on, you know youre gonna have a bad day
I agree with you... but you realise that main speaker is not an NCO but a commissioned officer.. He is a Major.
or a Recently Commissioned Young Officer... With A Map!
Credit to these lads, and also credit to the Royal Artillery for setting up such a long lasting record too.
Omg you guys have my utmost respect well done and hold your heads high be proud of your accomplishment and to all armed forces past and present..... Thank you so much for your service.
As an Aussie my dad was in the R.A.A.F and served 24yrs

‘....will the nightmare ever end?’
Amazing effort lads. Ex 3 PARA. respect to you guys.
Did Wayne Gretzky use the same hockey stick as Gordie Howe and Phil Esposito? Nope. Did the winner of this years Boston Marathon wear the same sneakers as Bill Rogers in the 80's? Nope. Did Serena Williams use the same wooden racket as Billie Jean King? Nope. Guinness has their heads up their World record ARSES.
The marines are world breakers. They protected and saved me many times.
Damn, I rucked 26.2 miles in 6 hours and almost died. These guys are Olympic level athletes, respect.
Thats a hell of a pace
Wow. Congratulations Marines! What an achievement.
I take my beret off to the Royal Artillery team as well, keeping the record for so long.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
I got real emotional towards the end, the fact that you have to dig deep to the core when theres nothing left in the tank, is nothing short of a miracle. Truly inspiring and humbling.
I think that the PTI is absolutely brilliant, he's kept their minds off of the gruelling pain by constantly talking to them and making them laugh.
This is a perfect example of the Marines mantra of "cheerfulness in the face of adversity."🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
What a load of bollocks wrong trousers on. The boots must be wrong as well and there day sacks so that is a load of bollocks, and I am ex para reg and I am sticking up for booties. It was a massive effort job done.
Not like gear for OTHER sports records has changed over the past hundred years... But hey! Can't have consistency when it means recognising such a fantastic feat of endurance... 🙄
Edward Cullen
Not like OTHER jokes have changed over the past hundred years-but, hey, can’t have consistency when recognizing sarcasm on the internet.
Quite agree Carl... never even thought about boots/socks..... we'll have to include belts and t-shirts as well. Stuff Guinness, the guys knew they broke it.
I agree day sacks didnt see 1 burgen mucker up the reg !!!
the lot of you be quiet, they did it in the right kit, they are marines not morones, who cares what bag they used or what trousers they wore you go do it youself then lads
Very proud of our very special Royal Marines, magnificent result and a very inspirational story. A big thank you to you all for everything you do and the sacrifices you have made.
You boys done your Regiment and yourselves proud. You all fought for each other on that hard unthinkable task. Be proud and stand tall. Each one of you, I salute.
Comrade in Arms.
Incredible what these lads have accomplished and I absolutely love how they are not friends they are truly brothers Incredible to see the love and determination of these lads i salute every single one of them
ROYAL ARTILLERY did well setting a 20 year record.
@Tiny mod yes up the gunners …. 22 air defence in the 1980s and proud to have served with a fine body of men and proud to have been part of organisation that set a world record and kept it for so long, hopefully one day well get it back
@@tonyp011 I think that my son Glyn was with you.
I admire Major Mills. He's a true leader.
Oh, and by the way to these morons at Guinness World Records. The mission is to run a marathon as a team with 40 pounds in your backpack and in military gear, the same boots and trousers you would wear in combat. So, I would say mission accomplished.
Well done Lads! I.S.I.S. doesn't stand a chance. From: a retired Canadian Soldier, 1 P.P.C.L.I.
Erik Ritchie u alright in the head? it hardly exists
First in the field , well said brother.
As a person who has ran 7 marathons in my life. To run to you almost died is because he didn't want to give up until it got really bad. Respect to runners and why they run.
Well they either broke that record or set a new record wearing modern trousers. Either way they are winners
Give them the world record they did the run with 40 pounds of weight and beat the time by 2 minutes
its a wonder these record numpties didn't say you didn't break the record because you set it on smooth ground and cooler conditions and where there was less traffic, especially if they are moaning at what kit they are wearing,
That is something, really something! Take it with you into your future lads.
From an Aussie who wasn't there and regrets it.
Scotty... what a Beautifull and strong caracter that man has. Greatings from the Netherlands ps. This video learned me a lot, unfortunatly i didn't pas the test when i was 16 years old when i did my military tests in Amsterdam, i know still i needed that discipline in my life, i struggled with drugs and problems growing up.
The only thing i can do now is to learn from things like this and be a better man everyday. Thanks again for this motivating video.
Good luck my man, hope you're doing good out there.
They can't have the record due to trousers being 'modern', christ the boots they were wearing were aswell! 100% a record and should be proud
Maybe Guinness wants them to go back to running in leather stocks and hob-nailed boots?
Well done lads… proud to be British seeing your effort, hard work and grit… true profeesionals..
Go on lads. You're a brotherhood, a band of brothers. You are the pride of this great nation, an embodiment of the ideals of this country. Digging deep, deeper than anyone else has to and proving just what you are made of. This is what it means to be a British soldier
Its not only about fitness, but mainly PMA, positive mental attitude, Well done fellas
Good work by my brothers across the pond! This was a very motivational video.
These guys covered a distance of 42 km in just 4 hours! Insane stuff. The Royal Marines are brilliant.
There should be a petition to sign to get this record ratified

@@trainboyben7718 and at Military might, wealth via national GDP, technological advancements, cinema and entertainment, largest airforce in the world with the second largest being their navy, defeated the British twice, the list goes on if you wanna talk about nunber ones.

Thank you for sharing this amazing video, I am impressed with the leadership, mental toughness, and dedication displayed by Scotty and the entire Royal Marines.
Immense respect.
In our hearts you broke the record and it's what's in our hearts that counts.
I love the the bit where the man who’s struggling at the ends bros lift the weight out of his bag for him! That’s love right there!!!
Well done lads
Outstanding effort
I’m proud to be British
Joined the Royal Navy with Dave P back in 98, lovely lovely bloke, proper geezer, haven't seen him since at least 99 but still consider him one of the nicest people I have ever met. Hope your well Dave. Teece
So they got the wrong troussers?
Really thats the reason?
Let those guys who told them its not a record do that run.
Always some small letters or something to get out of a record.
Bullshit.
Record is record.
Good job.
An extraordinary effort by all of these guys - not just the eight with the 40lbs, but the support runners carrying water and caffeine tablets etc (it appeared to me that they were all wearing combat fatigues, not lightweight running gear) and Scotty Mills...! Running a marathon while constantly encouraging and engaging the guys. Extraordinary.
this brought a tear to my eyes
well done all the lads and women involved, for such a momentous achievement
The Dutch supports you guys!
The marines and Major Scotty mills are a big inspiration, I start my career in recruit training February.
TRAMPO$O good luck lad
Good on you lad, give your very best, it’ll make you!
Good luck to you. Remember what you heard. It’s a state of mind that will get you through: never give up.
Did you make it mate?? 🤞
AMAZING GROUP OF ROYAL MARINES, I am humbled by the determination to endure together as a team. Who are these people behind the GUINNESS RECORD to tell the world you didn't break the world record? The world watched your video, we here in the Fiji Islands watched your video too. It's record in the hearts and minds of the 8 brave RM , all the supporters and great fans around the world. Hell with the pants they wore it takes guts, the physical and mental toughness to reach the finish line, SOME PEOPLE DREAM OF SUCCESS WHILE OTHERS WAKE UP AND WORK HARD AT IT.
What BS by the Guinness!!!!
Guinness? China PLA can beat this record.
China's PLA wouldnt even be able to do a normal march with that weight xD
@@klgreload lol PLA has more discipline than american soldier, fitter and sharp. They beat american in few military n police tactical n physical competition after those US ddnt send team to compete.
@@klgreload british has no say in armed forces nowadays..less budget only hype of sas fighting untrained taliban or knife boy around england
What battles have the PLA actually fought? All they do is drill. No actual fighting. Useless. PLA just looks good but in reality just a bunch of untrained, starving and abused "fighters"
From the brothers in the US, well done. Very proud. Buen Camino.
You broke the record with the weight on your back and your brothers at your side. Good lads, proud of you all!
Awesome effort Lads, great Drills. from an Ex Para, You Smashed Simple As.....
An OUTSTANDING achievement! Commander Clint Grimes, USN(RET)
Thankyou for you’re Service .. Remember- Respect- Honour !
You smashed it lads x💚
This was more touching and inspirational than I expected. Amazing job lads!
The Royal Marines speed march into hell and the Devil surrendered when he heard they were coming.
Hugh Franklin I heard the devil wanted to join as their potatoe peeler because he wasn’t worthy of anything else! 💀💀💀
What absolute bollocks! . In athletics you don’t hear ‘ sorry’ Mr Bolt but we have had to discount your world record time because you wore different shorts than Michael Jordan!!
What an inspirational documentary. I'm so proud of our marines 🇬🇧
Damn fine effort. Well Done! Speaking as a Sports Scientist it would have been better if they ditched taking caffeine tablets though. It artificially elevates Heart Rate, so you're further into your Training Reserve. It's a diuretic & it switches off the ability of the body to burn bodyfat. Better to have taken Schizandra & other legal stuff, e.g. certain Chinese /Tibetan herbs. As for Guinness - bloody typical. In 2018 I caught this documentary on British TV called "Paragon". It was about this ex-Royal Marine, from Liverpool, England, who had been blown up in Afghanistan. He was medically discharged, moped around & was wasting away. He got in touch with the Royal Naval Surgeon who had operated on him initially & requested him to amputate one of his legs. Can't recall if this was above or below the knee. The surgeon complied. He then started training & set the goal of attempting the 10Km World Record. After set backs etc. & then progressive training, he made his formal attempt at a proper Running Track, Timers etc. The whole 9yards. He BROKE the World Record, but Guinness failed to ratify it. It's just because it's the British Marines & the business of "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland. That's why. They won't admit it, but that's why. Why didn't Guinness tell them at the start they had to wear 'denims'? Why not the old DMS boots? Why not old bergans as used by SOE/Commandos in WW2?
Though the same thing, crazy
40:50 "We never leave anyone behind!" Maaaan as a soldier I can relate to that and to the following scenes. Goosebumps!!! Good Job comrades! Greetings from Germany. Still, 2021 my unit will take that record from you XD AND YES AGAIN, in my opinion YOU HOLD THAT RECORD, no matter what trousers!!!
Keep us updated on this please @Forces TV. They broke the record, Guinness is being ridiculous.
Guiness should award themselves a record for the biggest bs decision ever to be made in the history of decision making.
Unfortunately they were wearing the wrong colour skidders when they made their BS decision.
It’s not the trousers they wore, it’s more about the pair of Bollox these lads have swinging in them. What where they supposed to do? Get some old boots from 30 years ago n backpacks n T-shirt’s n trousers. Absolutely ridiculous
apart from the SAS id rate the Royal Marines up there in world--- wait -- Also Parachute reg and of course The Scots Gaurds all the best to all
And the RIR
Don't forget the SBS
Ghurkas !!!!!!!!!
