The second Fitness Challenge, held on February 6, 2010, was led by CD-REC program director Jamison Souza who challenged teams and individuals to walk from CD-REC headquarters on Bank Street down the hill to Battleship Cove and then to walk the mile-long boardwalk to the Iwo Jima Memorial monument at Bicentennial Park and back to CD-REC.
