The Fit City Challenge is a community level initiative to encourage and empower program participants to increase their level of physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption. Beyond promotional and awareness campaigns, the Fit City Challenge aims to provide the tools, the motivation and the mentoring for both the individual and the community to succeed in addressing the epidemic of overweight and obesity. "Long term, our goal is to have Charlotte-Mecklenburg recognized as the fittest community in this country - and then sustain that title" say's Dianne Thomas, Fit City Challenge Director, Mecklenberg County, NC*
