Exercise more. Stress less. Spend more time with family. Whatever you want to accomplish in 2018, the LiveFit Wellness Challenge can help you turn your New Year’s resolutions into a lifetime of healthy habits!

The 2018 LiveFit Wellness Challenge, sponsored by Sprouts, will kick off on Saturday, January 13 with a free Health Fair at The Marq Southlake. Stop by from 10:00 AM to noon to meet our vendors and learn all about the fun and innovative ways they’re promoting health and wellness in the community.

The annual LiveFit Wellness Challenge is a free City of Southlake initiative designed to inspire the Southlake community to stay active with family and friends while incorporating healthy habits into their lives. Participants compete in daily challenges, track their steps and attend fitness and wellness activities around town to earn points toward amazing prizes. The Challenge concludes with the Superhero 5K and Fun Run on March 17 in Bicentennial Park. All Wellness Challenge participants will receive FREE access to the race so they can show off all their hard work.
