WalkIn 2008 – June 15 - June 21, 2008

Spend a Week on Your Feet.
Gather your WalkIn team from last year, start a new team, or join as a solo walker.

U-PASS is working with Feet First to develop an exciting new walking program for the UW community. We'll be contacting you for your input and developing plans throughout the summer. In the fall, we'll test some of our ideas with a trial program, then the stage will be set to roll out WalkIn 2009 in the Spring.

Even while U-PASS works on this ambitious new program, we don't want to miss the opportunity to celebrate walkers in 2008. So, to keep everybody on their feet, we're hosting a week-long WalkIn 2008 from June 15-21.

Sign up for the WalkIn Challenge and start counting your commute walks, and your walks for errands, lunch and meetings. You can get a team together or walk solo. Sign up a team. OR Sign up as an individual.
