    We are 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 select 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 Wellness Initiative, Fleet Feet, Brooks, Miles for Justice, and Safe Space Running 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.

    MEETUP SCHEDULE

    Schedule subject to change. Meetups are held rain or shine. We start moving at 5:00pm! Arrive early for parking and plan on joining us for 60-90 minutes.

    All events are FREE but we do need you to register, please!

    We are pleased to invite you to be a part of our 18th annual Stroll for Epilepsy to be held on Saturday February 28th, 2025 at the Polaris Fashion Place. Join the Epilepsy Alliance Ohio as we raise awareness about epilepsy, while also raising needed funds for programs and services in the Columbus area. This family friendly event brings together children and adults living with epilepsy, their families, friends and supporters; and features an indoor walk through the mall whereby participants learn about epilepsy, have a chance to win prizes and support a great cause. We will also have a silent auction with some great baskets and items for any member of the family! Please Note: Due to the rising cost of shirts, we are adding an additional $5 to registration fees for shirts. Selecting a shirt size will add $5 to your registration fees. If you do not want a shirt, select none for shirt size. Purple shirt options are available for those with epilepsy!

    There are a few ways you can support the Epilepsy Alliance and participate in this event! You can register for the event; register and create a social team to encourage your friends and family to participate as well; register and create a fundraising team to challenge yourself, family, and friends to help you raise funds for the EAO; donate to your favorite team or donate to the Epilepsy Alliance Ohio to help fund our vital programs and services. No donation is too small!

    Epilepsy Alliance Ohio is dedicated to supporting those impacted by epilepsy in local communities by confronting the spectrum of challenges created by seizures. Epilepsy Alliance Ohio (new name same mission) has been in existence since 1953; we provide direct services to optimize each person's understanding of epilepsy and to improve their methods of coping with epilepsy.

    Breathe Strong 5K is more than a run or walk—it’s a movement to honor lives touched by lung cancer and to fight for a future with earlier detection, better treatments, and stronger support. Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths and often shows little to no warning until it has progressed, making awareness and education lifesaving.

    At the event, we will provide critical information about lung cancer risks, warning signs, screening, and information on support resources for patients and families. All proceeds from the Breathe Strong 5K will directly support lung cancer research and family support groups through a donation to the Blue Beautiful Skies Fund for Lung Cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center- The James. Donations help fund breakthroughs, offer hope, and remind everyone that they don't face this disease alone. Together, we walk to remember, to educate, and to help every breath count. We are thankful for the generous support from the Mary Ann Kirkby Living with Lung Cancer Fund at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center for the event T-shirts.

    Register by 03/08/2026 to guarantee your selected T-shirt size. Registrations after 03/08/2026 will receive a T-shirt based on the available sizes.
