The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Brown County is hosting a Walk Across Texas! Adult program. The program started on 9/4/2023; however, you have until Thursday, September 14, 2023 to register.
The Walk Across Texas! (WAT!) Adult program is an online, eight-week program designed to help Texans be more active using a team-based approach. Up to eight Team Members are encouraged to work together towards the goal of virtually traveling across Texas. Your favorite physical activities are logged as ‘miles walked’ and contribute toward your team’s mileage total.
“You can walk together, individually, outside, at the mall, at a grocery store or at a gym — any way that fits your schedule and lifestyle,” said Wendy Hamilton, Extension Agent – Better Living for Texans (BLT). “Keep track of your team’s miles to see if together you can go the equivalent of the 832 miles it would take to walk across Texas in eight weeks.”
While our target audience is people with limited resources, anyone can participate. “Bring your family, friends, neighbors, pets, coworkers, and classmates,” she said.
In collaboration with Courtney Parrott, Family and Community Health Agent, Nick Gonzales, 4-H Agent, and Wendy Hamilton, Better Living for Texans Agent, this series is all about community, support, and growth.
