Winner of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” will run in the 2015 Last Fling Rooster 5K  and speak at Official After Party.

Toma Dobrosavljevic is the winner of Season 16 of NBC’s hit show “The Biggest Loser.”  Dobrosavljevic walked away with the title of “The Biggest Loser” by dropping 171 pounds in just under seven months and outlasting an impressive collection of 20 competitors, including two NFL players and two Olympic gold medalists. He has embraced healthier habits and hopes his story will inspire others and motivate them to make smarter choices to lead to a better physical constitution and a more fulfilled life.
