Since then it has proven to be one of the fastest growing content sites ever and THE fastest growing site within the food space. The Active Times was launched in late June of 2012 and is also experiencing unprecedented growth.
In each case our editors strive to provide our readers with the best content available in the respective fields of each site and to do so at a scale well beyond anyone else in the category.
