About

Active Portage County, Inc. is organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes. This non-profit 501(c)(3) has been created to but not limited to the following:

• To create a healthier Portage County by encouraging citizens to get active and lead healthier lives through programs and planned activities to motivate citizens to get into regular exercise, like walking programs.
• To promote walking and other low impact exercise while educating the public in how regular activity can reduce risks of heart disease, diabetes, stress-related issues and other health problems stemming from being sedentary.
• To provide opportunities for participants of all ages to train and experience non-competitive physical activities.

Active Portage County, Inc. is organized by a Board of Directors. The Stevens Point Area Convention and Visitors Bureau executes all administrative duties for Active Portage County, Inc.

All registration fees help cover the event needs to make all experiences comfortable, safe and welcoming (from port-a-potties to refreshments). Registration costs remain low to encourage more people to live an active lifestyle, and are graciously supported by in-kind and cash donations by our generous sponsors. Should there be any proceeds from events, those are used to fuel new and on-going wellness orientated activities and events to promote healthy people and lifestyles, including Wellness Funds at Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin.
