The challenge seeks teams of four to represent businesses, organizations and individuals in the national event, which will have more than 10,000 prizes given away, including trips to the finale of The Biggest Loser television show in Los Angeles.
The challenge is for people of all fitness levels and is designed to get the community moving, eating better and having fun. Businesses, organizations or just a group of friends are encouraged to register teams of four for $100 to enroll in the challenge. Teams can register today by going to www.biggestlosercommunity.com and scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking on REGISTER TEAMS. Select the number of teams you want to register with every 4 individuals making one team.
