Walk NH Week 2008
Join the fun in your community
June 1 – 7 !

Walk NH Week is an exciting statewide event, in addition to our on-going Walk NH program, designed to encourage people to participate in an organized community walk -- and inspire them to continue walking as part of a healthy lifestyle long after the event ends. 

Governor John Lynch will proclaim June 1-7, 2008 Walk New Hampshire Week. Walks will take place at various times across the state during those seven days, some simultaneously.

HOW YOUR COMMUNITY OR ORGANIZATION CAN PARTICIPATE:
• Select a 1 to 3 mile route to walk in your area. Ideas for places to walk include: parks, school grounds, main street area or town village, a home or workplace neighborhood, nature trail, etc.
• Choose the day and time (including a rain date) for your walk. Complete a registration form for your walk and send it to Walk NH by MAY 15, 2008.

HOW WALK NH WILL HELP WITH YOUR EVENT:
• We provide tools to help you plan, promote and implement your walk.
• We promote your walk through our website.
• We provide t-shirts for event organizers and promotional items (e.g. hats, stickers,     water bottles) for walk participants.

HOW INDIVIDUALS CAN PARTICIPATE IN (OR HELP WITH) A WALK:
Look at our schedule of walks and choose the one you want to do. Contact information and details for each walk are listed. If there isn’t one in your area, check back again later. Walks will be added as organizations register them.
