Walk2Work day is coming!

On the 18^th of March 2009, thousands of people across New Zealand will leave their cars at home and Walk2Work with friends, family and colleagues. Workers are invited to call in to their local Walk2Work event between 7-9am, to register, collect their complimentary breakfast snack, be inspired by speakers, win spot prizes and potentially change their habits!

After a successful pilot event in 2008, Living Streets Aotearoa is coordinating twelve events around the country. Walk2Work is a great excuse for people to get outside and enjoy their walk, realising the benefits of fresh air and gentle exercise.

Walk2Work events are being held in Auckland City, North Shore, Bay of Plenty and Lakes district, Taupo, Levin, Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Nelson, Tasman district, West Coast, Christchurch, and Dunedin.

In Dunedin the local council is giving its full support to this event and has enlisted the help of the railways. Walk2Work participants will be able to catch trains from Mosgiel and Waitati taking them into central Dunedin where streams of happy walkers will stroll up to the Octagon to partake in Walk2Work 09.
