Crim Fitness Foundation

WHY SUPPORT THE CRIM FITNESS FOUNDATION?

For the last 45 years, “Crim” has remained committed to improving the lives of residents within the City of Flint and Genesee County by providing best-practice strategies, programming, and proven leadership in regional, state, and national efforts surrounding individual and community health. What started in 1977 as a ten-mile road race to benefit Special Olympics, has evolved into an organization serving nearly 40,000 people each year.

Our organization’s mission continues to be to create vibrant accessible communities in Flint and Genesee County that encourage people to lead a healthy lifestyle by integrating physical activity, healthy eating, and mindful practices into their daily lives and mentor other communities to do the same. We are transforming the community through events, programs, and policy advocacy to change the culture of health and wellness.

Our current programming includes the world-class HAP Crim Festival of Races and CrimFit Training Programs; the Flint Community Education Initiative; the Flint Mindful Cities Initiative; Crim Community-Wide Sport; Crim Nutrition Programs; and Policy Advocacy for health equity, including built environment change.
