Move IT! Charleston County Parks and Recreation’s mission is to turn the Charleston region into a national model for community health and wellness using our diverse network of parks and partners to improve quality of life.
Since 2013, Move IT! Charleston County has facilitated all of Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission’s (CCPRC) fitness and wellness programs. Races and Runs dominated CCPRC’s fitness/ wellness schedule prior to Move IT!’s inception. Since then, we have grown the offerings to include year round group fitness programs, a more robust race and event schedule including the Off Road Duathlon, Save the Light Half Marathon and 5k, like Starlight Yoga series. Combined, these races, events and programs have served thousands of constituents over the past 5 years. Our goal is to provide enough depth in our programming to provide a continuum of care for our constituents whether they are managing chronic conditions or they are a seasoned athlete.
Move IT! Charleston County offers a diverse fitness/wellness schedule year round both indoors and outdoors in our scenic park settings. At any given time, our constituents may choose to participate in any number of group fitness programs, races, and wellness events including chronic condition management, yoga, aquatic fitness, and races and runs.
The most exciting aspect of Move IT! Charleston County is the resources we have available to us to reach the community on a large scale. Our parks and facilities are located in all corners of Charleston County, giving us the unique opportunity to serve thousands of area residents from McClellanville to Hollywood in our day parks including James Island County Park, in the rural areas from Schroder Community Center in Hollywood, and St. James Santee in MClelanville, and our undeveloped parks including Laurel Hill in Mt Pleasant and Old Towne Creek County Park West of the Ashley.
The schedule represents our continuum of care approach to fitness and wellness programming by encouraging individuals to take control of their own health regardless of age, ability or residence.
