Washington, DC – On Tuesday, October 11, 2011, the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) will join the National Parks & Recreation Association (NPRA) and National Geographic Kids in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people doing jumping jacks for 1 minute. Let's Jump! supports First Lady Michelle Obama's Lets Move Initiative, which encourages families and youth to stay healthy and active. Thousands of children, youth and adults at locations around the country will unite to set this new global record. DPR will host fourteen official locations across the District and may add additional locations the day of the event. The event will begin at 5:30pm, so arrive early to ensure you are there for the countdown.
