Kenyan environmental activist Truphena Muthoni has officially been confirmed as a Guinness World Records Title Holder for the Longest Marathon Hugging a Tree, following the successful completion of her 72-hour tree hugging challenge.

In a formal confirmation from Guinness World Records, Truphena was notified that her application had been approved, cementing her place in the global record books. The achievement marks a powerful milestone in her environmental advocacy journey and positions her among a rare group of record holders using endurance acts to drive climate awareness.

Truphena’s 72-hour tree hug was more than a physical feat. It was a symbolic protest against deforestation and a call to reconnect with nature, while also spotlighting mental wellness and environmental responsibility. Her action sparked widespread public attention and conversation around conservation in Kenya and beyond.

Earlier this year, Truphena appeared on Sustainability Connect, hosted by Wanjira Maganjo, where she shared the inspiration behind her mission and her belief in nature as a source of healing and grounding.

Icon Radio, together with Sustainability Connect, proudly celebrates Truphena Muthoni’s historic achievement and continues to root for her as she champions environmental consciousness through bold, purpose-driven action.
