October 7 - National Walk To School Day

Happy National Walk To School Day! The first Wednesday in October makes a perfect time to celebrate today. 

Not only does the day encourage getting some exercise, but the weather is perfect for walking to school as well.

 

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. It isn’t hard on our joints and feet like running and jogging but still gives us all the advantages.

 

The goal of this day is to raise awareness and support for the health, community and environmental benefits of regularly walking or biking to school. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Walk to school or work. Enjoy the weather. Take photos and post on social media using #WalkToSchoolDay. 

HISTORY 

Organized by the Partnership for a Walkable America (FHWA), National Walk to School Day in the United States began in 1997 as a one-day event aimed at building awareness for the need for walkable communities.
