Walk at Work affords employees, students and individuals, from tots to seniors, in a workplace, school or home, the opportunity to walk at least 30 minutes or engage in another moderate-level physical activity.

The Bergen County Department of Health Services in conjunction with the Bergen County Cancer Coalition, adopted this initiative developed by the National Association of Health and Fitness to increase the awareness of the benefits of walking to promote overall health. In 2011, 55 organizations, businesses, agencies and schools registered representing over 6,000 potential walkers.

Due to challenging weather conditions on the designated day, participants elected to reschedule and conduct the initiative during the months of May and June.
