DESCRIPTION: The City of Dublin Parks & Community Services Department is
inviting the public to participate in a community-wide event to motivate, educate, and empower
residents to achieve optimal health through a customized wellness challenge.
The "Step 2 It Challenge" is a great way to team up with co-workers, family, or friends to get active, lose
weight, eat better, and live a healthier lifestyle. The cost is just $10 per participant for the first 400
registrants; afterwards, the price increases to $16 per person.
Participants will receive a pedometer to track steps; weekly motivational emails; unlimited access to the
online resource center, which provides video and workout plans, activity, nutrition, and recipe tips; and
a personalized online tracking page and journal. The "Step 2 It Challenge" will run from March 16
through May 25. Here's how it works:
• Gather a team of 2-10 people and choose a team name. The Team Captain must register the
team at www.livehealthvdublin.com.
• Enter Group Registration ID: LHDUBLIN
• Pick up your personal pedometer at the St. Patrick's Day Festival on March 15 and 16.
• Set up your personal profile online to record goals and your daily step count.
The Team Captain will communicate with teammates weekly to keep everyone motivated and inform
team members of fitness and wellness activities offered in the community.
Teams will compete against teams of like-size (i.e., teams of 2-3, 4-6, 7-10). This program will take the
spirit of team work, add a measure of friendly competition, and use the power of the internet to
encourage people to reach their optimal fitness level and to pursue healthier lifestyles.

Commission receive the report.
