How it Works
Form a group of friends and family ready to walk. You can schedule times to meet up; the whole group does not have to meet up, and you can meet up with a few people who have similar schedules. Over the 10 weeks, you keep track of your activity points daily and report your points for the week and your grand total of points at the end. Depending on the amount of points you or your team achieves, you can when prizes and celebrate your new start on the road to better health!

- Meet 1-on-1 with Walk Texas Coordinator (Email Coordinator to schedule a time)
- Bring group forms
- Receive Group Leader T-Shirt and other incentives (while supplies last)
