Wow! More than 240 participants and 23 teams joined the Bee Amazing Race, bouncing from town-to-town to learn more about what it means to live healthy and well. We started gathering Trip Tix in Aerobiquerque and finished in Stretch Louis, with some making it as far as Sweetattle and Las Veggies. We made several stops between and gained tips and tools that will serve us for a lifetime.

We met many memorable characters along the way and returned with souvenirs in the form of new health habits. But that’s not all... Just for taking the trip some lucky participants will win the grand prizes.  http://heartsmart.ulethbridge.ca/welcome

Congratulations to all the travelers who joined us on the journey! We hope to hit the road with you again during our next wellness challenge... Be watching for details soon!
