Penn State Extension will offer a free virtual walking program and virtual tour of some of Pennsylvania's natural wonders. Everybody Walk Across PA is a program for worksites, schools, community groups or any other group, split into teams of up to five people. Each team member will try to average walking or exercising 15 miles per week for eight weeks, walking with their team or on their own at a time and place convenient for them. Individuals with all levels of physical ability are encouraged to participate.
Weekly emails to the teams will include the area to virtually visit that week, words of encouragement, and strategies for eating healthy. Each week, team captains will be required to report the total number of miles walked. The program will run from Monday, April 1, through Sunday, May 26. The program is free, but registration is required by April 1. Registration and more information may be found at https://extension.psu.edu/everybody-walk-pa-program-information-2019#section-3.
