Guiness World Record Attempt
Fall Football Festival


Play Flag Football Marathon Flag Football Game

On August 30th and 31st, Play Flag Football will attempt to establish the Guinness World Record for the longest game of flag football ever played. The event will take place at the Off the Wall Soccer Arena, located at 700 Matthew Street in Santa Clara (map), and will serve as a fundraiser for Play Flag Football, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation.

Two teams of 10 players will square off in a marathon 4-on-4 flag football match. The game will begin at 2:00pm on Saturday, August 30th, and teams will play through the night, finishing up on Sunday afternoon around 3:00pm.

The official event web site, MarathonFlagFootball.com, will launch on June 15th. Getting into condition to be a part of a 24 hour game is going to take a fair amount of effort, and the event participants will be given 45-day training programs developed by certified personal trainers, and you will be able to track the training progress of select participants at the event web site.
