Dog Days and LiveWell Lawrence host workout
Today is all about making history. This afternoon, Don "Red Dog" Gardner, in collaboration with community initiative LiveWell Lawrence, will host what may be the world's largest community workout at Shenk Fields on the corner of 23rd and lowa streets. Check-in is at 5:30 p.m. and the workout will begin at 6 p.m.
Chip Blaser, executive director of the Douglas County Community Foundation, said the LiveWell Lawrence group hoped the event would draw 2,000 to 3,000 people.
Blaser said the organization might put this event on again in the future, at which point, it could have enough time to go through the Guinness record application.
"But for now we're basically going to dare anyone to tell us it's not a world record," Blaser said.
Blaser said the goal of the event was to celebrate the Dog Days program and to challenge other communities to have larger workouts.
The fitness workout will be scaled back so that people of all levels can participate, Blaser said.
KU Recreation Services will provide the facilities for the workout and the Dog Days group will provide the exercise routines.
