The 2014 edition of The Movement Allen County has begun!

The Movement Allen County is an annual county-wide eight-week healthy living initiative organized by Thrive. Over the last five years, over 1086 registrants have participated, collectively losing more than 1900 pounds each year, on average.

The Movement Allen County runs from May 5th through June 27th. Registration is $12, which gets you an informational folder, a Movement t-shirt, and access to all Movement activities and Interactive cooking classes! Come by the Thrive office (12 West Jackson in Iola) or call us at 620-365-8128 to get enrolled. Click here for complete rules and instructions.

There is a full schedule of activities each week to keep you moving and keep you motivated: The Movement Event Calendar

Participants are also encouraged to post updates and photos on the The Movement Allen County Facebook Group. It’s inspiring to see so many people making activity part of the daily lives!
