“...Dealing with overweight and obesity is also a community responsibility. When there are no safe, accessible places for children to play or adults to walk, jog, or ride a bike, that is a community responsibility.”
- Dr. David Satcher, U.S. Surgeon General 1998-2002

 Utahwalks.org

And you can challenge family and friends!
And it’s not just about walking.
This Web site was designed to help in the development of even more opportunities
for Utahns to get out, get active, and get fit. Use the site to track your physical
activity, in all of its forms, and learn how to help create places for people
to walk and bicycle, as well as identify where you can find such places
for your own use. The best part is that it doesn’t cost a thing.
