Welcome
The 5210 Challenge is all about taking small steps to create a healthier you. We are glad you are here.
The Coast to Cascades Community Wellness Network partners and community organizations have teamed up to bring the 5210 Challenge to Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties in Oregon. Over the last decade, schools, healthcare organizations, community organizations, and non-profits have participated in the challenge to start each new year off with healthy habits.
The Challenge takes place every February and consists of four main goals related to nutrition and movement. You can join as an individual or opt in to be a part of a team. You’ll track your daily progress throughout the month and be entered into a raffle to win some cool prizes!
The February 2024 Challenge is now closed. We welcome you to come back in February 2025 to join the Challenge again. Enjoy the offseason and keep up those healthy habits. For paper trackers to keep up with tracking your healthy habits, check out the toolkit below.
