Looking for a unique and fun way to motivate your employees, church members, county residents, or students to become physically active? Maybe you are looking for a way to help motivate yourself to become more physically active. Whatever your needs are, Walk Across Tennessee can provide the support and fun needed to get people moving!

What is Walk Across Tennessee?

Walk Across Tennessee is an 8-week walking program for teams of eight people. The teams will have a friendly competition to see who can log the most miles walking, jogging, biking, dancing or other types of physical activity.

Team members do not have to walk together. Some may prefer to walk outside, while others walk on a treadmill. You may choose from a variety of activities by using physical activity equivalents.

The team who walks the farthest "across Tennessee" will win, but everyone who participates will take home a healthy habit . . . walking for fitness.

The program materials contain all the information and forms needed to implement Walk Across Tennessee!

Why Walk?

Over sixty percent of adult Tennesseans are overweight or obese. The lack of physical activity is a major reason why children, teens and adults are overweight. Developing the walking habit is a simple and inexpensive way to move more.
