1. Walktober

October is Walktober, particularly down in Victoria. Walktober is a Victoria Health initiative designed to get you walking more. There’s all sorts of stuff planned:

• walk to school days
• The world’s greatest pram stroll
• a Melbourne walk and tram treasure hunt

For more information about the activities and also the benefits of walking, see the Walktober website.

2. Walk to work day

Friday 5th October is Walk to Work day, all over Australia. This has the double-whammy of both promoting exercise but also reducing our reliance on the car.

If you live in the inner City suburbs you could walk all the way to work. If you’re a bit further out, why not plan to walk part of the way? Alternatively take a walk during your lunch break or walk a stretch of the journey home.

There’s more information on the Walk to Work website
