Penn State Extension will be taking a virtual walk for the 5th year – this time learning about and enjoying the 67 counties of Pennsylvania.
We’ll learn about their history while trying to guess the county based on its fun description. This is a great program for worksites, schools, community groups or any other group. Even your dog can be a member of your team!
Gather your family and friends or co-workers to form a team of up to five. Team members will try to average walking or exercising ten miles per week to meet the goal of Everybody Walk PA.Walk with your team or on your own at a time and place convenient for you –we will virtually visit eight different counties each week; you do not have to walk there.Team captains will report the mileage for their team each week.You can also walk as an individual.
Each week will bring a new city. Weekly e-mails will include motivators to keep walking, and strategies for eating more fruits and vegetables. All of this will keep everyone moving toward a healthier lifestyle.
The program will run April 2ndthrough May 27th. It’s free but registration is required by April 1, 2018. Register or learn more about this event athttps://extension.psu.edu/everybody-walk-pa-2018 or contact Karen Bracey at 570-836-3196 or kbracey@psu.edu.
