We don’t want to set the biggest world record.
We want to build the largest movement in Switzerland.

The world record isn’t the goal. It is the starting gun — the biggest stage there is to make a movement visible that reaches far beyond a single day. What begins that day carries on afterwards as an open association.

Frequently asked

Still have questions?

We usually reply within a day — directly, no ticket system.

info@pushzurich.ch
What does it cost to take part?
Nothing. The record attempt is free and open to everyone. You can also become a member of the association — that too stays entirely voluntary.
Am I fit enough?
Yes. A push-up is a push-up. On your knees, against a bench or classic on the floor — every variation Guinness accepts counts. We will have enough coaches on site to guide you.
What happens if it rains?
The event goes ahead in any weather. Sihlhölzli is an open sports ground — rain only makes the record more memorable. In extreme conditions the board will announce an alternative date in good time.
How do I get there?
Sihlhölzli is central in Zürich and easy to reach by public transport (tram 5, 6, 7 to Sihlhölzli / Wiedikon). Parking is very limited — we recommend public transport.
Can I come as a spectator?
Absolutely. Spectators are welcome and an important part of the moment. Entry stays free.
Do I get a shirt?
Every registered participant receives an official PushZurich record shirt at collection on the day.
What happens to my data?
We store only what the registration needs — first name, last name, email and optionally a phone number. No advertising, nothing passed to third parties. Details under /datenschutz.
