Walk and Roll All Year Instead!

There will be no formal celebration of "Walk and Roll Week" in the Evansville area this year.  Instead, the week's primary sponsor, the Evansville-Area Trails Coalition (ETC), and its various partner organizations, will be hosting opportunities for healthy outdoor recreational activity throughout the year.

For more information, visit ETC's website.

Don't forget, though, that the third week of May remains "Bike to Work Week" (BTWW)  For more information about BTWW activities in and around Evansville, contact Miles Ahead Coalition: Evansville Regional Bicycle Advocates.

Walk, roll, and stay healthy throughout 2012!

Sunday, December 18, 2011

Save the dates!

Evansville's third-annual Walk and Roll Week celebration will be held the week of May 14-18, 2012.
