For the third consecutive year, the City of Madison is promoting staying active this fall with a special month-long event, Walk-tober. This series of planned activities and events hopes to motivate the public to get out and walk during the month of October.
October is a great month for walking! Temperatures are cooler and the changing fall colors throughout the month are dazzling. Additionally, walking is a great way to boost physical and mental well-being while also staying environmentally friendly. Get out and walk to work, to the store, hike or walk just for fun.
"Walk-tober celebrates walking and encourages people to get outside," said Pedestrian Bicycle Outreach Specialist Colleen Hayes. "This event also hopes to remind everyone about the value of walking, both as transportation and as recreation, for personal health and wellbeing"
