About Graham Walks
Graham Walks began in 2006 with a grant from the Health and Wellness Trust Fund. Graham Recreation & Parks wishes to continue to gain new interest in the program and encourages past participants to join us once again this Fall. Graham Walks is a 5-week, self-motivating walking program designed to inspire you to stay active. We encourage participants to not only walk but to be active overall. Set a goal and track your activity on the Activity Tracker Log.
Following the 5 weeks, all participants who turn in their completed Activity Tracker Log by the deadline will be eligible to receive a Graham Walks swag, as well as be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing (one per person). Activity Tracker Log will be kept confidential. All swag/prizes must be picked up at the Graham Recreation Center, items will not be mailed.
How do you track your activity?
Graham Recreation & Parks will provide an Activity Tracker Log to registered participants. Use this log to document your time being active each day. Just keep moving and keep your goal in mind. If you choose to track steps, use any fitness tracking device that you may already have (i.e. Fitbit, Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, Garmin, etc.).
