Lt. Governor's Challenge

The goal of the Lt. Governor's Challenge is to motivate Delawareans to become more active and to make the First State the "Fit State".

The Lt. Governor's Office has teamed up with The American Cancer Society, Christiana Care Health Systems, Division of Public Health, University of Delaware, YMCA and the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce to develop and promote this free program. The goal is to get Delawareans started toward a more active lifestyle. So far, over 42,000 people have taken The Challenge in the past six years, including about 26,000 children.

There is no need to invest in expensive exercise equipment or join a gym. The program offers a framework for Delawareans to become more physically active, and a variety of activities that will earn you points towards a Lt. Governors Challenge achievement medal.
