The Faith Based Fitness Challenge has played a role in mentoring and motivating congregations in the community to remain active. Pastors and health ambassadors from twelve REACH partnering faith-based organizations made the commitment to increase awareness and participation in physical activity to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease along with its risk factors - obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. by way of policy changes, implementation of systems and environmental improvements.
To lead the way pastors participate in the Annual Faith Based Fitness Challenge which includes activities like: a golf drive, chip and putt competition; a one-mile walk/run; a basketball shooting contest; and a bowling competition. Pastors are encouraged to participate in physical challenges where scores are tallied for each individual event and later summed to determine an overall winner.
