event to motivate, educate, and empower residents to achieve optimal health through a customized

a great way to team up with co-workers, family, or friends to get active, lose weight, eat better, and live
a healthier lifestyle.

per participant for the first 250 registrants. Registration is being accepted now. Participants will receive
a Live Healthy training t-shirt; unlimited access to the online resource center; video and workout plans;
activity, nutrition, and recipe tips; a personalized online tracking page and journal; a one-year
subscription to a national lifestyle magazine; and weekly educational and fitness activities to keep
participants motivated.
Here's how it works:

name. Get creative. Team captain must register the team.
