Japanese publisher Benesse organised the one-day event at a shopping mall in Yokohama, inviting infants aged six months to one year and four months to take part in the 3mrace.
Some vigorous little ones crawled determinedly towards the finish line and their waiting parents, while others simply refused to participate, sitting on the starting line and crying loudly.
The competition, involving 601 babies, was logged as a Guinness World Record, replacing the previous record of 451 infants at a similar race in China last year.
