Adventist Health launches competitive health programs with prizes for all participants

The Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Parks District (TVRPD) held a meeting on April 14, 2025, to discuss upcoming health and fitness programs, including the highly anticipated Fishing Derby. This meeting marked the third iteration of the health initiative, which began a year ago and features both spring and fall programs.

During the meeting, it was noted that Adventist Health has formed multiple teams to participate in the health program, fostering internal competition among various departments. Participants can join the program at any time, and it is offered free of charge. Incentives, including prizes for both teams and individuals, will be awarded at a board meeting scheduled for early summer.

The discussion also highlighted the importance of cycling in the program, with participants encouraged to log their cycling miles. The excitement surrounding the competition was palpable, with hopes that the city could reclaim its previous second-place standing.

For those interested in signing up for programs or learning more about TVRPD activities, the official website, tbrpd.org, was recommended as the best resource. Additionally, updates can be found on social media platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, under the handles Tehachapi.Parks andRec and Brightlake.

The meeting concluded with a light-hearted challenge for attendees to participate in the Fishing Derby, emphasizing community engagement and support for local events. For further inquiries, the public was encouraged to reach out via email to the city hall media contact. Overall, the meeting underscored TVRPD's commitment to promoting health, fitness, and community involvement in Tehachapi.
