distance record

Longest measured accomplishment

A distance record is the farthest extent ever achieved in a particular activity or category: She holds the distance record for women's javelin.

The phrase applies across domains—athletics, aviation, space travel, migration patterns.

Like other records, it invites breaking: The new aircraft shattered the previous distance record.
