World record for longest hopscotch set at Colorado state park

Littleton, Colo. (KRDO) -- A new world record was set this past weekend at Chatfield State Park in Littleton.

Generation Wild Colorado, a campaign created by Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) to reconnect kids with nature by increasing the amount of time they spend outside in unstructured play, beat the record for the longest hopscotch with a continuous course that was 4.37 miles long.

The previous record was 4.2 miles, set by students at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

The event was put on through the efforts of GOCO, Generations Wild Colorado, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Guinness World Records, and a number of volunteers.

The hopscotch is open to the public and is located near the swim beach at Chatfield State Park in Littleton.
