Haleon, through its iconic brands Centrum and Voltaren, leads an ambitious Guinness World Record attempt for the “Most Nationalities Running on a Treadmill”

Health is universal, yet the journey to understanding and action is often unequal. As a global leader in everyday health, Haleon continues to champion its purpose of delivering better everyday health with humanity. This purpose now takes shape in an extraordinary way as Haleon, through its iconic brands Centrum and Voltaren, leads an ambitious Guinness World Record attempt for the “Most Nationalities Running on a Treadmill.”
The attempt will take place during the Dubai Marathon weekend — not as part of the marathon’s programme, but as a Haleon‑created, brand‑led movement designed to empower communities, inspire healthier habits, and celebrate the power of collective motion.

Transforming Movement Into Meaning
Wellness is often treated as optional. Many people know that movement and nutrition matter, yet the benefits can feel abstract, distant, or invisible. Haleon’s purpose is to close that gap — making health tangible, accessible, and emotionally meaningful.
The Guinness World Record attempt embodies this mission. Bringing together people from a wide spectrum of nationalities onto a single treadmill showcases a universal truth: movement is for everyone. It is an experience that reflects Haleon’s belief that when people understand their bodies and feel supported, they are more likely to take charge of their health.
This activation turns a simple run into a message of unity, inclusion, and shared wellbeing — a symbol of what health with humanity truly looks like.
Centrum & Voltaren: Complementary Forces for Everyday Health
At the heart of this initiative are two of Haleon’s most trusted global brands:
Centrum – Building Every Body From the Inside Out
Centrum, World’s No.1 Multivitamin, has long been grounded in scientific rigour and human understanding. Its role in this activation reflects its core purpose: to make nutrition simple, accessible, and empowering.
The brand is built on the insight that when people understand how their bodies work, they make more confident, informed choices. Centrum supports that journey by nourishing the body from within — helping people feel prepared, energized, and in control of their everyday wellbeing.
Voltaren – Enabling Movement Without Limits
Movement is one of the most fundamental expressions of health. Voltaren empowers people to keep moving freely by relieving pain that often holds them back.
As part of the record attempt, Voltaren’s presence reinforces a crucial idea: every step matters, whether it’s on a marathon route, a treadmill, or in daily life.
Together, Centrum and Voltaren represent Haleon’s holistic vision of self‑care: supporting the body internally and externally, enabling people to move, live, and feel better every day.
A Record Attempt Built for Everyone
This activation follows Haleon’s core belief that health must be inclusive. The record attempt welcomes all — experienced runners, first‑timers, visitors, families, and spectators from all nationalities.
The design of the experience ensures that people of different backgrounds and abilities can take part and contribute. Each person stepping onto the treadmill becomes part of a shared global moment — one that celebrates diversity, unity, and the human desire to move forward.
This is health engagement not through instruction, but through participation and emotion.
More Than a Record: A Movement Towards Better Everyday Health
Whether the Guinness World Record is achieved or not, the deeper goal is to spark a behavior shift — from skepticism to self‑care, from passive awareness to active participation.
This activation represents a new standard for health engagement in the region: immersive, inclusive, science‑based, and deeply human. It reflects Haleon’s commitment to meeting people where they are, in moments that matter, and supporting them on the journey to better everyday health.
Don’t just read about it — experience it. Come cheer your nation on February 1, 2026 and take part in this record‑breaking moment.
