Celebrate the Summer Games at Your Local Lets Move! Olympic Fun Day

Let’s Meetup to Move!

Let's Move! has a national goal of solving the problem of childhood obesity within a generation. A Let’s Move! Meetup enables people to create face-to-face meetings and activities to find local solutions and get moving together in our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. And a Let’s Move! Meetup is flexible - it can be a discussion, a physical activity in the park, or a healthy cooking class.

On Saturday, July 28th, cities and towns across the country held Let’s Move! Olympic Fun Day Meetups to celebrate the Olympic games and healthy living. You can check out their experience below, and go to meetup.com/lets-move to find (or create!) an upcoming Let’s Move! Meetup near you.
