World Fit^® is a walking program for middle school students which is an initiative of the US Olympians Association. Olympians and Paralympians will adopt your schools to mentor and teach you the importance of lifelong fitness and the Olympic values of perseverance, respect, and fair play. Our mission is to curb the alarming rates of childhood obesity and to improve your overall health and attitudes towards fitness.

Now in our fifth year, 7,000 students from 18 schools have logged over 750,000 miles as part of the World Fit^® program. These numbers exceeded our highest expectations. In 2011, we will launch World Fit^® nationwide, hoping to expand into 200 schools and reach 50,000 more children.

We hope that you will want to join an Olympian on your school’s team and start walking next spring. Register now for 2011 and lets start getting fit!
