The group organizing the effort is known as Generation Wild. Generation Wild is based in Colorado and dedicates its efforts to promoting outdoor activities for children across the state.

In case you're not familiar, Generation Wild puts together all kinds of programs for families to enjoy the outdoors and promotes being active. They also offer parenting advice, share ideas with families to promote an active lifestyle, and are really an all-encompassing organization in that vein.

In addition, you may recognize their mascot, Wilder, a half-man/half-goat creature much like Smokey Bear or Scruff McGruff.

However, Generation Wild's efforts could prove to be record-breaking soon.

The hopscotch course will be 4.5 miles long, which if completed, will secure a new world record.

The event is free for the first 500 people to arrive, who will also receive special record-breaking memorabilia.
