During the mayor and council reports portion of Tuesday night’s city council meeting, Coppell Mayor Karen Hunt shared a funny anecdote about last Saturday’s Community Health and Wellness Expo.

“It was a wellness triathlon,” Hunt said. “I impressed a lot of people that I actually performed this triathlon until I told them it wasn’t really a run, bike and swim; it was a walk, yoga and meditation. But I can tell you that it was awesome.”

The Expo began with the triathlon “Living Well in Coppell”, and had a turnout of about 150 citizens looking to get healthy.

Hunt then focused toward future city events, as she listed Coppell’s upcoming activities this spring.
