Our Story

Local mayors in Brevard County are challenging their citizens to get involved in a healthy competition.

The FREE 8-week challenge will track the minutes of participants’ healthy activities. The municipality reporting the most minutes of physical activity will be named “Most Fit City.”

Families are encouraged to participate together by getting active and becoming healthier. Adults over 18 may also choose to join “The Great Weight-Off Competition.” Two cash prizes will be awarded at the end of the challenge.
