2011 Walk Across Texas Event - April 3, 2011 - May 28, 2011
Family Development and Resource Management, Family and Consumer Sciences, Texas AgriLife Extension, The Texas A&M University System.
We are currently forming teams for our eight week Walk Across Texas Program.
Come and walk across Texas with us! Walk Across Texas is a program created by Texas AgriLife Extension in 1996 to help you establish the habit of regular physical activity. From border to border, you or your team, can walk 830 miles across the state, seeing your progress across the state online, or on a Texas road map!
Most people start by walking as a member of a team of eight for eight weeks at work or with another type of group such as their church or county. Then, after that, they can transfer their own mileage from those eight weeks to the By Yourself option and continue walking across the state on their own. You may also choose the By Yourself option from the very beginning.
Regardless of whether you choose to start as a team in a group or by yourself, you can walk whenever and wherever you want. Team members do not have to walk together. Some prefer walking outside, while others walk on a treadmill. You may even choose to bike, swim or dance across Texas by using mileage equivalents.
Take the local challenge - Walk Across Texas will be implemented April 3, 2011 - May 28, 2011.
We hope you will join us. Should you have any questions or concerns please call the County Extension Agent, Maggie M. Johnson at 512-943-3300.
