570 Rocky Fans Set Guinness World Record at Philadelphia Museum

Philadelphia fans marked the 50th anniversary of the 1976 film “Rocky” by setting a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Rocky Balboa. A total of 570 participants—more than double the 250-person threshold—wore the character’s signature gray sweats, black beanies and high-top sneakers at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, then ran up its famous steps. The gathering was part of the city’s “Rocky Season” celebration, which also included events honoring the film and its enduring connection to Philadelphia.
