 The Healthy Lifestyle Challenge is a series of eight events that are meant to challenge you.  You don't have to be an athelete just someone you enjoys the benefits of exercise.  The events will increase in difficulty and vary between walking, running, swimming, and biking.  All events will be supervised.  Walkers and runners are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing and shoes.  All biking events will require a functional bike and safety helmet.  Bike inspections will be conducted before each biking event.  Swimming events will be supervised by trained lifeguards.  The final event will consist of a 500 yard swim, 6 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run.

If you would like to attend any of these events to cheer on your favorite participant or help out by providing water at the halfway point, give the Health and Temperance Leader a call or drop him an email.  We all look forward to seeing you at our next event and bring a friend.
