Active Trans Walk Challenge

Thank you!

Thank you all so much for participating in the Active Trans Walk Challenge!  We had 337 walkers participate in this inaugural event, with over 2,500 tips and 10,000 miles logged. Nice work!

With so many normal activities on hold due to COVID-19, we heard from many of you how the Walk Challenge was a breath of fresh air and a much needed escape during stressful times. Plus, you were able to have some fun as a pedestrian, proving how easy and beneficial walking can be. Win-win!

If you enjoyed the Walk Challenge and want to learn more about the what Active Trans is doing to make communities more walkable, check out our latest walking campaigns and be sure to subscribe to our monthly newsletter.

Finally, we couldn’t do the work we do without the strong support of our members. Please consider becoming a member of  Active Trans to help advocate to safer, walkable communities throughout Chicagoland.

Again, thank you all so much for participating in our first ever Walk Challenge!
