Get involved with the Walk4Life day

1st September 2011

The Walk4Life Miles project is inspired by London 2012 - the aim was always to have 2,012 Walk4Life Miles mapped by the start of the Olympic Games - the great news is they have met the target! That doesn't mean they can't have more of course, so please continue to identify miles and to waymark them.
 
This year's Walk4Life day, in three weeks' time on the 25th Sept, will be celebrating walking, and in particular will be promoting the Walk4Life Miles. There will be national media coverage. It isn't too late to get involved.
 
What you can do :

• If you have Walk4Life Miles please make sure as many as possible are waymarked before the day
• Make sure that you remember to update your Walk4Life Miles on the website
• Run an event on or around 25th September to capitalise on the national publicity around walking
  •  launch one of the Walk4Life mile walks in your area
  •  run a fitness test session on one on your miles ... offering local people the chance to see how fit they really are and build their confidence to try other walks
  •  use the national publicity and increased awareness to get local publicity for your great work
  •  add your walk4life events, and any other walking events you are planning to the events calendar 
  

Please send us photos of your events, or add them to the walks (but let us know so we can mention them in our publicity).
 
Find Walk4life miles near you visit www.walk4life.info and search on your postcode.

What will Walk4Life be doing?

•  We'll be publicising Walk4Life Day through a variety of means, all events listed on the site will be included in the publicity
•  We'll be writing Blogs, and using social media. We can write guest Blogs for your websites
•  We have free waymarkers we can send you for your Miles - including a new ground stencil which can be jet-washed through to make so-called 'clean graffiti' for places where signage is tricky. Contact us to order waymarkers.
•  If you are running a 1-mile walk for Walk4Life day we can send some "I've walked a mile" stickers and possibly also some T-shirts.
 
Let's see if we can really get the country walking this year for Walk4life day!
