Israeli speed dating organizers are aiming to smash a Guinness World Record and hold the largest-ever event of its kind, with 500 women and 500 men expected to meet for hyper-fast matchmaking in Tel Aviv later this week.

Each participant will meet at least 20 other people during the event on Thursday. Singles will also have the opportunity to mingle during 4- and 8-km runs and live performances from Israeli musical artists, according to a Ynet report.
