bringing movement to you!
​
The mission of Move Together Columbus is to address health disparities in Columbus, Ohio through the power of movement and togetherness.
Together, we are hosting free monthly fun run/walk events at four Columbus City School locations, bringing together students, teachers, parents, community members and local wellness enthusiasts in a safe and inclusive environment.
​
​​Move Together Columbus is a collaborative initiative between Columbus City Schools Wellness Initiative, Fleet Feet, and Brooks aimed at promoting community fitness and wellness through walking and running. ​
THANK YOU TO OUR Collaborators
MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE
Our inner-city communities face numerous health issues, including limited access to healthcare, higher rates of chronic diseases, and disparities in health outcomes.
Movement can play a crucial role in preventative medicine for our communities by promoting physical activity, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being. By encouraging regular exercise, healthy eating habits, and access to healthcare resources, movement can help prevent chronic diseases and improve the overall health of marginalized populations.
