Go Healthy Challenge Held at Metrocenter

The American Heart Association is helping kids get in shape before they head back to school.

This year's Back To School Go-Healthy Challenge was held at Metrocenter Mall this afternoon.

Kids of all ages competed in challenges like an obstacle course, aerobic classes, and a healthy food taste test.

More than 700 kids were rewarded with prizes including backpacks and school supplies.

One lucky winner received a Nintendo WII.

Organizers say the goal of the event is to help kids develop healthy eating and exercising habits.
