That course is longer than the 4.2 mile record. The record-breaking event will happen on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 10 a.m. 

"Our 99 Days Outdoors campaign proves that playing outside can be easy – and on September 18th, we're going back to the basics with good, old-fashioned hopscotch," said GOCO Executive Director GOCO Jackie Miller in a statement. "As our biggest activation yet, this hopscotch course will bring people together  outdoors, which is a prize in itself, so let's see if we can break a world record while we're at it!"
