CLERMONT, FL—On Sept 15, 2018, Alicia Weber, was the Honorary Chairperson for the first Wellness-themed “Team” race in Clermont (known as a world-class race destination). She had approx 30 athletes attend and become “Trendsetters for Wellness” where her mom volunteered.
The goal of the 1 mile and 5k races was to create an awareness and culture for fitness and wellness. It starts with caring.
Alicia’s mom, Carol Weber, lost her brother to drunk driver and she lost her mother when she was seventeen. These negative situations gave her the greatest motivation of her life as she pursued a 30 year career in the medical field. She was the stronghold for her family with her inner-strength to overcome obstacles. She instilled in Alicia at an early age the motivation to set high standards for herself and others.
Alicia teaches people to become determined and relentless to achieve results as no one can argue with results. Make a Positive Difference.

The first wellness race brought over 140 competitors. Alicia had 36 individuals complete a fitness makeover and race challenge (although about 10 only did the fitness makeover part). The fitness makeover consisted of a pre-race waist line health check, two minute knee tuck test, and two minute shoulder width grip pushup test. There were modified and advanced ways to do the exercises, but only the advanced ways were allowed for Overall Titles (except for Adult Female Title). The max score was 400 points.
Three teams (12 on each team competed for most points). Additionally, there were 4 individuals recognized for Top Points.
Alicia’s Team of kids and their parents representing her Archery, Fitness, Sport League placed First with 2,686 points. Dylan with 340 points and Jane with 242 points won the Overall Youth Titles with most points in the advanced exercises.
Praise Temple Christian Academy Team Placed Second with 2,424 points.
The 3 A’s representing Michael Spartz Financial Advisor, Advocare, and AdComm Placed Third with 1,880 points.
Michael Spartz a Financial Advisor Won Overall Adult Male with 257 points and Claire Vaccaro of Advocare Won Overall Adult Female with 193 points.
“It’s really good to exercise your whole body, while having fun. People are good at different exercises, so this gives them the opportunity to stand up for Health and Wellness, while showing how healthy they are,” said the young Joe Arnold, the 1st person to be tested in the fitness makeover.
“It’s a great idea because it gives people goals in a team atmosphere. It’s goal setting and achieving something,” stated Michael Spartz, a Top Orlando financial advisor.
“It’s a very well put together and organized event,” said Ron Smart of the 3 A’s, an experienced event organizer and founder of AdComm and an Advocare Rep.
