Hula Hoop World Record Attempt- Piedmont Park

Tell your neighbors what the event is about (recommendedHELP US BREAK A WORLD RECORD FOR A GREAT CAUSE!

Join the Piedmont Park Arts Festival and HoopEssence
in an attempt to break the world record for longest chain of people to pass a hula-hoop,
benefitting Embraced Atlanta. Can’t hula hoop? Not a problem! There is no hula
hooping skill required in order to be a park of the world record attempt.  Almost everyone has done a hula-hoop pass like
this before in gym class. If you haven’t, we promise it’s easy! We need about
500 people to break the record, so bring your friends and family out for a
chance to break a world record for a great cause!

Join HoopEssence after the
world record attempt for an all ages hoop jam in the park! Bring your own hoop
or borrow one from us.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We will create a large circle
of people around the Active Oval at Piedmont Park. Everyone will hold

hands as the hula-hoop is
passed from person to

hands for the duration of the record attempt. One trick is to step through the
hula-hoop with one leg, pass is over your own head, step through with the other
leg and pass it along to the next person without breaking the chain. This pass
is a lot of fun and very simple to execute.

HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
