Mayor Lloyd Winnecke began combatting one of Evansville’s biggest issues, obesity, before he was sworn in as Mayor in January 2012. In May 2011, a Gallup poll had named Evansville one of the nation’s “fattest cities.”

One of his most important initiatives is Energize Evansville - the idea to organize healthy activities around the city and help residents live more active lives. They meet on the 3rd Saturday of every month.

Mayor Winnecke has enlisted the help of more than 50 local fitness experts, nutritionists, and other health consciences minds to help achieve the goals of Energize Evansville.

Most of the Energize Evansville events are held in city parks. Energize Evansville is coordinated by the Parks Department and the events are at different locations every month.
