The fastest marathon by a linked team is 2 hr 55 min 24 sec and was achieved by Team MitoCanada (Canada) at the Calgary Marathon in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on 26 May 2013.

Despite the record guidelines only requiring a minimum of five people linked together to make up a team, Team MitoCanada was made up of 10 runners connected using elastic surgical tubing threaded through a carabineer attached to each of their belts. The 10 runners who made up Team MitoCanada were: Aaron Swanson, Blaine Penny, Darcy Bell, Duncan Marsden, Jeremy Deere, Jody Draude, Myron Tetreault, Nick Haddow, Ryan Twa and Scott Jensen.
