About OAH STRIDES:

Since its inception, OAH STRIDES has worked with nonprofit organizations, hospitals, municipalities, schools, senior centers, adaptive sports programs, youth development organizations, healthcare professionals, race organizers, and local businesses. Together, these partners have expanded access to movement, recreation, education, wellness, and meaningful community connection throughout Greater Hartford.
