Parks and Recreation staff announced at Monday’s City Council meeting that the City of Richardson is participating in the 2025 Healthier Texas Community Fitness Challenge Jan. 13-March 9. 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. People who sign up on behalf of their city or school district also earn points for that organization with every healthy action they submit.
At Monday’s meeting, the Council signed a participation pledge that earned the City 5,000 points. Parks staff outlined several free, City-sponsored group classes planned to take place during the Challenge including yoga, drum cardio, and healthy cooking, and a walk/run event scheduled for Jan. 25 at Huffhines Park, which will be immediately followed by a free yoga class at Huffhines Recreation Center.
