Howard County Physical Activity - Organized Youth Activity Guide

The Howard County Local Health Improvement Coalition (HCLHIC) wants to increase physical activity among Howard County Youth by increasing awareness of, and access to, resources in the community. It is recommended that Youth (ages 6—17) should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity daily.

Walk Maryland - Registration Tool

The Howard County community is encouraged to make walking a regular habit. The Maryland Department of Health created a walk registration tool that can be used throughout the year to organize a walk or join a walk group. Be a part of the walking movement to make at least 150 minutes of physical activity weekly your year round habit!

To add a movement event to the LHIC Calendar, please email LHIC@howardcountymd.gov with the details.
