About Local Motion
Local Motion is our community's campaign to inspire residents of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels to be physically active in Charlottesville and Albemarle, Virginia.
It has been brought to life by a partnership of local government, agencies, non-profits and businesses interested in improving the health and well-being of our community.
Local Motion is for everyone. You don't have to be an athlete to be active. You just choose what feels right for you - whether you walk, cycle, swim, shoot some baskets, dance or weed the garden.
Use Local Motion for support, information and reminders about staying active to help get you moving... and stay moving. At the same time, you can learn how our community's public spaces - parks, playgrounds, trails, and even sidewalks - make being active even more enjoyable.
It's your move... and we're here to cheer you on.
