Organized by the Anaheim Elementary School District in California, this is a video of the Guinness World Record-breaking game of red light, green light played by 1,423 students at Yorba Park in Anaheim.

This is a video from runner and filmmaker Duncan McCabe, who ran precise patterns around Toronto and tracked his routes with the Strava fitness app to create a flipbook style animation from the 121 runs, totaling 1,105km (687 miles) of drawing. That’s impressive. Strava must be pretty accurate to be
