Here are a few tips for organizing a walk with others:

 Plan your walk

• Engage colleagues and form small groups for your walk. Working from home? Plan to walk with your family or friends or walk on your own!
• Identify a safe walking route that is one-half to one mile long.
• Choose a route for your walk that is relatively flat, paved, and step-free. If possible, walk the route yourself before the event day to ensure there are no unforeseen obstacles along the way (optional: create a course map).
  
• Set up a meeting location and time to start the walk. 
  
• Use this editable flyer with your worksite and meeting location, along with other event details.
  
• Spread the word! Post the event flyers in break rooms, share them during huddles, and ask co-workers as well as managers to help promote the walk.
  
• Optional: Create your own awesome playlist, or listen to our Spotify playlist (with a free or paid account) during the event. 

Walk day guidelines

• If you plan to walk with others, meet promptly at the designated location and time.
• Take photos during your walk and encourage others to do the same. Then log in to the virtual event page (the link will be live on August 3) and share your photos to show the breadth of our celebration of wellness and community. Family photos and selfies are welcome! Share your photo on our event page and be entered into our raffle for a chance to win an Apple Watch.
• After your walk, sign in to your HealthySteps to Wellness account, go to your “add programs”, join the Wellness Walk activity card, and attest to participating in the walk to earn 25 points for attending the event. 

Event day tips

• Dress in comfortable clothes conducive to moving, especially comfortable shoes.
