Beginnings…

The Impossibility Challenger was first organised in Zurich, Switzerland in 1982. Since 2002 this festival of record breaking had taken place in Germany, until last year when New Zealand for the first time successfully hosted Impossibility Challenger. Now in its 17th year it returns to Dachau Munich once again to challenge the impossible.

The event is sponsored by the Sri Chinmoy Centre and seeks to inspire people from all walks of life to experience the spirit of self transcendence in a unique way. Not only small children get enormous joy when they transcend their own limits and start walking those first tiny steps. Everybody can rediscover this joy of self transcendence in the most unique ways. Do you have a hidden talent just waiting to burst out? Well this is such an occasion where the unexpected is normal and ordinary people earn the title ‘world record holder’ for feats nobody else can imagine.

Impossibility Challenger serves as a fantastic platform or launch pad, for anyone who wants to push the limits of human possibility with joy, enthusiasm and stamina whilst trying to set world or personal records in non Olympic disciplines.

Previously  records from New Zealand and Europe have included tearing phone books in half, bending metal with your teeth, playing a cello marathon, changing tyres on a car, fastest mile on stilts, longest headstand on a moving car and laughing for 3 hours non stop.

We invite you to open your heart and mind to the possibility of impossibility, and to take part in this years festival of record breaking! Our team of very experienced organisers will see that everything is done to ensure you not only have the best chance of achieving your goals but also have some fun along the way. See you in October.

Best wishes from the Impossibility Challenger team.
