Are you up to the challenge? Better eat your Wheaties and get signed up for the activities to come.

Spring is here and the Fourth Annual Mayor’s Fitness Challenge kicks into high gear in April 2013.  The Mayors Fitness Challenge is a program of the city’s Shape Up Somerville initiative, designed to encourage active living, healthy eating, and overall wellness among community members of all ages.

Last year, more than 500 residents joined us for the Challenge, and they hope to increase that number this year through additional programming and special offers.  This year in addition to the Fitness Challenge Teams and Fitness Pledge they’ve added the Pedometer Challenge, Businesses Challenges, new extra point events and extended the Challenge to ten (10) weeks.

The Mayor’s Fitness Challenge Kick Off and Registration takes place Saturday, April 13 from 11 am-3pm at the Somerville High School and Atrium.
