February 14, 2024 (Rosenberg, TX) – The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Fort Bend County will host a Walk Across Texas! Adult program from March 11 to May 5.
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 a mall, at a grocery store or at a gym — any way that fits your schedule and lifestyle,” said Leticia Hardy, County Extension Agent – Family & Community Health. “Keep track of your team’s miles to see if together you can go the equivalent of the 833 miles it would take to walk across Texas in eight weeks.”
The Family & Community Health Department will be holding a virtual informational meeting on February 26 at 10:30 am. The meeting will cover what is WAT, who can participate, how to join and any questions you may have.
For more information about WAT or for the link to the informational meeting, please visit our Fort Bend County Walk Across Texas website at https://fortbend.agrilife.org/fch/physical-activity/walk-across-texas/.
