The Active Austin 10-Week Challenge, is a free program offered four times a year to encourage everyone to become more physically active. You can join as a family, a group, a worksite, or as an individual. Anyone who lives or works in Austin or Travis County can participate. The program provides a “Fun Kit” to provide the structure, so you can start a walking group, bike club, swim club, skate club, or dance club, through the Active Austin 10-Week Challenge. Physical activity options are limitless. It helps you stay motivated, meet new people, and have fun being active.

The program includes an incentive plan, group leader orientation and a tracking system. Groups have total flexibility to choose when, what, and where they will be active. The program was designed to encourage those who have not been active at all or very little to increase movement in a fun way with teams or buddies. Active Austin works with local community organizations, groups, businesses, and faith-based organizations to encourage and facilitate more physical activity in the community. The goal is to encourage a healthy habit of being physically active for life.
