Walktober

WALKTOBER is a month-long campaign that encourages our community to be more active by walking regularly. This push is led by the River's Way Game Changers. The Game Changers are a group of young adults with differing abilities that are highly involved with River's Way programs. They will be walking at the YMCA of Bristol each afternoon and in their spare time. They will also be influencing nearly 1000 students in local middle and high schools as walking leaders in River's Way Walking programs.
The Game Changers lead by example and prove that if they can walk, so can you!
People of all abilities can work hard, play hard, and contribute. At River's Way, we create opportunities for people of all abilities to shine, and we believe people of all abilities belong in our community. WALKTOBER fulfills this mission by encouraging the young adults in our programs to improve their mental/physical health by walking and simultaneously inspiring the community to do the same by walking regularly.
Walking is the most inclusive, accessible, and inexpensive form of physical activity.
WALKTOBER culminates on October 22nd with an inclusive community walk at the Tennessee High School outdoor track. River's Way will be hosting the event, and it is an opportunity for the community to show up and walk alongside the Game Changers. We will have other activities including a pre-walk yoga session (9:30am), dance party, raffle, food truck, and an award ceremony. We are inviting local organizations, community groups, volunteers, and friends/families to attend! 
WALKTOBER is a free community event that supports youth and young adults with differing abilities
WE HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE!
