   TOGETHER WE TO CHARGE OF OUR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE! 

THE CHALLENGE-RGV 2026
WEIGHT LOSS COMPETITION

The Challenge-RGV provides people with the tools and opportunities to encourage healthy weight loss, when appropriate and a lasting lifestyle change. Over the course of three months, participants have free access to gyms, exercise classes, health screenings, cooking classes, and fun runs/walks.

The event is open to people 18 and older from anywhere in the Rio Grande Valley. Those who participate in The Challenge-RGV have their baseline weight taken at the January kick-off event, midpoint weigh-in, and finale in April.

This collaboration involves the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health in Brownsville, the City of Brownsville, and other regional municipalities, as well as community partners and sponsors.
