Get Active, Howard County!
 Join 5,000 new fitness enthusiasts working out in Get Active Howard County, a 10-week program to improve your health!
Columbia Association is now in its sixth year of sponsoring the Get Active Howard County challenge, a 10-week, community-wide effort to encourage healthy lifestyle habits. Registration begins March 1, and the program will run March 29 – June 6. A kick-off event will be held on Saturday, March 27, from noon-4pm at Supreme Sports Club and will include free roller skating, a free Zumba class, information on health issues, demonstrations of exercise activities and equipment, light snacks and activities for children.
Get Active Howard County culminates with Healthy Howard Day, an event organized by the local nonprofit We Promote Health (www.WePromoteHealth.org). CA will once again be an in-kind donor for the third annual Healthy Howard Day on Sunday, June 6, from 10am-4pm at Centennial Lake. This year’s free event will feature onstage demonstrations, vendor booths, food samples and activities for children.
Get Active Howard County is a partnership of Columbia Association, Howard County Health Department, Howard County General Hospital, Howard County Recreation & Parks, Howard County Department of Citizen Services, Howard County Nutrition and Physical Activity Coalition, Howard County Library, the American Diabetes Association and American Cancer Society.
Individuals, teams, families, businesses, neighborhoods and villages are encouraged to track their progress on the Get Active Howard County web site. A calendar of events is also available online. Learn more and register for free at www.GetActiveHowardCounty.org or call 410-715-5523.
