The City of McAllen is hosting a free, outdoor walking event to help encourage McAllen employees and residents to move and exercise during the day for better health and peace of mind
The 10-minute walk will be held at McAllen City Hall, the McAllen Public Library, community centers and other McAllen buildings and facilities.
The event is being coordinated as part of the City of McAllen’s participation in the It’s Time Texas! community health challenge competition. Participants will be asked to register for the challenge and take a brief survey if they are not signed up, for a chance to earn 950 points. All will be asked to take a Healthy Selfie, which can then be uploaded to the site. The City of McAllen receives points for various activities. McAllen is currently in first place in the Large City category and has taken the winner’s trophy the last two years.
To find out how to participate as an individual or business in the challenge, visit: www.ittcommunitychallenge.com or call the City of McAllen Health & Code Enforcement Department at (956) 681-1900.
