About the Community Challenge
The It's Time Texas Community Challenge is an eight-week health competition that kicks off every January. Free to participate, Texans across the state compete and earn points by eating healthy, being active, and staying hydrated. Using the Community Challenge mobile app, participants can track their progress while earning points for themselves, their organization, and their local community. Additional app features empower participants to celebrate each other’s successes, find local group health activities, and explore nearby destinations that promote healthy living. The Community Challenge provides a fun, safe space for Texans to start small and take first steps towards a healthier lifestyle.
Our organization partners with local governments, school districts, employers, and other community-focused organizations that are working to make health a priority. At the end of the Community Challenge, winning communities, school districts, and employers are celebrated for their leading participation and commitment to health. The It’s Time Texas Community Challenge gives local health champions a platform to bring people together under the common goal of building a healthier community, leading to a healthier Texas.
