• Cost to participate: $5 per person.
  
  
• We are registering people on an individual basis, but we encourage people to create teams on your own - as many as you can get excited about the 6 weeks! 
  
  
• Prizes will be given to the top individual weight loss winners (pounds & percentage of weight for both men & women).
  
  
• There will also be a fitness challenge. This is designed for those who might not necessarily need to lose weight, but want to get in or remain in shape. The youth (18 & under), must take part in this phase of the Challenge. Each participant will use a point system to keep track of each day's physical activity. An award will be given to the participant with the most logged activity.
  
  
• Calendars of events and reminders will be sent out, via email and regular mail for the various activities to help keep participants on track with the available resources.
