Default Sump Pump Plumbing Question

You might just want to "plumb" from where the pipe now exits your house.
The run should end up near the lowest part of your lot boundary.

With a little luck when the pump starts the water will syphon out once the
line is primed. If the lower end of the pipe is below your sump, you don't
need or want a check valve. A check valve might trap water outside where
it could freeze.
