  The Guinness World Records' record for the largest gathering of people dressed as sumo wrestlers was achieved by 205 participants at The Sumo Run organised by Gemin-i.org (UK) in Battersea Park in London, UK, on 19 June 2010.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Spider-Man; it involved 438 participants, achieved by Charterhouse (Australia), in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, on 28 July 2015.
