In 2015, Estonian Marti Medar set a world record for completing a marathon while dribbling a basketball, finishing in 3:04:15. In 2017, Medar set a world record for completing a marathon while dribbling two basketballs at the same time, doing so in 3:54:16, and then set it again in 2021 with a time of 3:36:36.

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of running the race virtually, transferring their entry to 2021, or obtaining a refund.
