Walk to Work Week 2010
26- 30 April 2010
Walk to Work Week is a fun, free event which motivates people to get fit, be active and enjoy their commute!
This year, it's all about ‘Get fit without the hassle' - you can try walking part or all of your journey to or from work, or walking more during the working day. You will earn ‘rewards', be entered into prize draws and enjoy some truly healthy competition with your colleagues! Online registration opens on 29 March, but in the meantime you can keep up to date by signing up to our e-Bulletin.
There are already a whole range of supporting materials available too, with pedometers, umbrellas, footcare kits, posters and leaflets to help you get your colleagues motivated. Ordering closes on 19 March, so make sure your workplace doesn't miss out - to place an order visit our online shop.

We were asking people to pledge to walk for all or part of their journey to work with a whopping 358 people pledging to do so!
