A Remarkable Return to Running Sees Fredericton Woman Make World Record Attempt

Julia Reid-Howell posted a time of 3:17.37, beating the previous French record and awaiting Guinness certification after submitting photos and witness verification.

  • Julia Reid-Howell, a middle-school art teacher from Fredericton, said she has sent a submission to Guinness World Records claiming the fastest women's one-kilometre stroller run, as reported by The Canadian Press on March 6, 2026.
  • After giving birth 17 months ago, Reid-Howell resumed running weeks later and began bringing her daughter Winnie on runs once Winnie was big enough, building stroller experience.
  • Reid-Howell recorded a time of three minutes, 17 seconds and 37 hundredths on an indoor track at the Gagetown Fitness Centre, shown in a Feb. 28, 2026, handout photo, claiming a record.
  • If Guinness certifies Reid-Howell, Toronto's Brendan Neely holds the men's 1-km stroller record, and Canada would hold both records.
  • Reid-Howell is submitting paperwork that includes photos and verification from two independent witnesses, and she says she hopes to hear back from Guinness officials sometime within the next month.
