With the SR-71 Blackbird being the fastest jet and having a top speed of 4100 mph, it would take roughly 6.073527548005815 hours.
The fastest species, the common garden snail, would take about 94.7 years to travel around the earth. Snails do not live to be that long, however, and would never complete such a perilous and mind-bending journey.
In part that would depend on the mode of transportation and the longitude and lattitudes used. If you are at the North or South Pole you can simply run around the Pole twice clockwise and twice counterclockwise and claim to have run around the earth twice in each direction in less then a minute. That sets up a whole new set of World Records like: * Fastest person to run around the World East to West. * Fastest person to run around the World backwards. * Fastest person to duckwalk around the World. * Fastest person to walk around the World on their hands. * Youngest child to crawl around the World in less then a minute. A whole new Olympiad and a new chapter in the Guinness Book of Records will need to be created.
