Sponsored by Healthy Central Florida (HCF), the Mayors’ Sole Challenge is a friendly community competition with $2,500 at stake. The goal is to see which community can bring out the greatest percentage of its residents to the walk, and for the last two years, Eatonville has won the cash prize and bragging rights.  (HCF is a community-based initiative founded by Florida Hospital and the

HCF also is instituting a “School Challenge” to see which school can bring out the most students and their families to the event. Schools can win cash prizes to be used for healthy school programs and activities.

Once again, the event will include dance-walking, face-painting, blender bikes, and a healthy breakfast for all. There’ll be a DJ, prizes, surprises and loads of healthy fun.  It’s totally free – so invite your entire Zumba class, cheerleading squad, dance studio team, faith group, friends, and neighbors for this unique, family-friendly event.131116_313
