Move Together Columbus

Move Together Columbus

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 Public 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, Fleet Feet, and Brooks aimed at promoting community fitness and wellness through walking and running.

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.
