Spring could not get here fast enough with the launch of Active Southern WV in 2015. With our mission of giving residents more opportunities to get physically active, we have found many eager partners to contribute their resources to our friends, neighbors, families and coworkers.
During the week of April 12-18 you will find many adventures to join throughout Raleigh, Fayette and Nicholas counties that we will highlight below. Throughout the state of WV a new initiative coming out of the WV Community Development Hub called the WV Physical Activity Network, is a forum to share events and ideas on getting active and where you can connect with others interested in physical activity across the state.
What better time than spring to motivate the people around you to get out and try something new that can become a weekly habit and hopefully a year round routine.
So with no further delay, here are the weeks activites:
