WEforum Fit Crawl 2024 Celebrates Beyond the Game: Honoring Youth Coaches and Mentors

WEforum, the Women’s Education Forum, announces its annual Fit Crawl event on Saturday, February 24, 2024, across multiple studios throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties. The Fit Crawl, now in its ninth year, is a dynamic one-day health and wellness extravaganza that promotes an active lifestyle and community engagement and supports free educational health and wellness programs.

This year, the WEforum Fit Crawl goes beyond the physical, celebrating the dedication and commitment of youth coaches and mentors who play a pivotal role in enriching the lives of our youth both on and off the field. The event will recognize top coaches and mentors in youth athletics who embody high ideals, characteristics, and traits related to personal excellence, transformation, sportsmanship, and a healthy lifestyle.

The Fit Crawl, initiated by WEforum in 2016, has become a staple in the community’s calendar, promoting the message to “Move for Life.” The event collaborates with local health and wellness studios, vendors, and partners, allowing participants to sample three back-to-back fitness and wellness classes. The day concludes with a post-crawl event at Triumph Brewery Co in Red Bank, featuring local vendors offering food, juices, health and wellness services, and apparel.
