The City of Richardson is set to participate in the 2025 Healthier Texas Community Fitness Challenge Jan. 13-March 9, and invites the community to join in. Formerly called the It’s Time Texas Community Fitness Challenge, the free, eight-week, statewide competition encourages individuals and organizations to earn points and win prizes for completing healthy individual actions such as working out, logging water intake and eating healthy meals. Actions/points are logged on a free app; register before Jan. 13 to start off with 250 extra points. People who sign up on behalf of their city or school district also earn points for that organization with every healthy action they submit.    

Several free, City-sponsored group fitness classes are planned to take place during the Challenge including yoga, drum cardio, and healthy cooking, and a walk/run event is scheduled for Jan. 25 at Huffhines Park.
