What is Walk Across Tennessee?

Walk Across Tennessee is a team-based walking program. The teams are encouraged to cumulatively walk the equivalent of the length of Tennessee (about 500 miles) or more over an eight week period.

Team members do not have to exercise together.  You can walk, bike, dance, swim, jog, etc. to get in your physical activity.
