Keeping Richmond Healthy

Inclusive Movement Challenge

Open To All

The Inclusive Movement Challenge invites people of all ages and abilities to move in ways that work for them. This is about self-care—not pressure. Progress—not perfection. Participants join a collective goal while honoring their own pace. Even if you’ve never joined a fitness challenge before, you belong here.

Move your way. Track your progress. Be part of something bigger. Walk it. Roll it. Stretch it. Dance it. Swim it. Own it. However you move—it counts to the goal up to 150 minutes per week. Grand prize winner will receive a FREE one-year membership to the YMCA (exclusions apply). Download the Inclusive Movement Challenge App today!

The Inclusive Movement Challenge runs March 1-May 7, 2026.

Run Your Story

Design The Future Of Running

Run Your Story™: Future of Running is a hands-on design experience for high school students who want to turn creativity into real-world impact. Through this immersive program, students will step into the role of a footwear designer—building a complete shoe concept rooted in empathy, decision-making and strong design rationale.

Following the workshop, the top 10 shoe designs will advance into an exclusive 6-week design process, where students will refine their concepts and prepare for a public showcase. Final designs will be featured at the Monument 10K Expo on April 16–17, giving students the opportunity to present their work to a live audience and industry-inspired community.
