One Week Left to Sign Up for the ‘Walk the Walk’ Challenge!

Start off the school year and enjoy the beautiful fall weather by joining “Walk the Walk,” the two-week walking challenge sponsored by the BUSPH Practice Office’s Spotlight on Obesity campaign.

This semester’s event begins Sept. 23 and runs through October 4, and will help reinforce an important message throughout the Medical Campus that practicing a healthy lifestyle is a key part of public health. 

During last semester’s “Walk the Walk” Challenge, 75 teams walked a total of 30,101,955 steps in two weeks, or 15,051 miles — the equivalent of crossing the United States five times. This semester, we hope to beat that record!

• Prizes will be awarded to the team with the most steps logged
• Teams of up to 5
• Open to faculty, staff, and students across the BUMC and BMC campus
• Pedometers provided

Contact Elizabeth Powell at eapowell@bu.edu to sign up your team by September 19th.
