'Biggest Loser' Winner to Run Last Fling Rooster 5K

Toma Dobrosavljevic will also speak about his journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Toma Dobrosavljevic is the winner of Season 16 of NBC’s hit show “The Biggest Loser.” Toma 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.
