“We are very pleased to welcome the Biggest Loser Race Series back to the South Shore. Nearly 2,000 people participated in 2015 and we are hoping to beat that number this year,” said Speros A. Batistatos, President/CEO of the South Shore CVA.

We are also excited to announce The Indiana Community Challenge, presented by Franciscan Health. This eight-week, online health & wellness community competition begins on February 27 and is the perfect preparation for the Race Event. Race Series participants receive FREE entry into the Community Challenge!
Individuals and companies who are not competing in the Race Series are also invited to join. The Challenge is for all fitness levels and is designed to get our community moving, eating better and having fun! Compete via web or app. Prize draws will be made each week!
“We added an 8-week community challenge so that corporations can sign up as a team to help create the “well-culture” that all companies should be striving for. You can bet that Franciscan Alliance employees will be out there in force. Healthy employees are happier employees. The 8 week challenge is the perfect formula for team building and camaraderie. Anyone can do it…let’s go!” Said Marci Crozier, Franciscan Director of Health Promotions and Season 11 Contestant on the Biggest Loser.
