Everybody Walk Across Pennsylvania is a free eight-week biannual (fall and spring) virtual walking program. This program is great for worksites, schools, community groups, and individuals.

Gather your family, friends, or co-workers to form a team of up to five. Even your pet can be a member of your team! You may also register as an individual participant. This is a virtual walking program, so you may walk wherever you choose - a park, your neighborhood, or your yard.

Each person is encouraged to walk an average of 10 miles (or do the exercise equivalent) each week for eight weeks. Walk with your team or on your own at a time and place convenient for you.

During the program, weekly emails are sent to registrants and will include motivators to keep walking and strategies for eating healthy. Each week, team captains and individuals not on a team will be required to report the total number of miles walked.
