Walk Michigan
 
Walk Michigan!

Walk Michigan! is a state-wide, non-competitive program administered in communities throughout the state. First established in 1985, Walk Michigan! invites residents from across the state to pursue a healthy lifestyle by walking regularly. Local parks and recreation agencies schedule and coordinate group walks, which take place in local parks, trails and recreation areas.

Interested in Bringing Walk Michigan! to Your Community?

The Walk Michigan! program provides residents the opportunity for physical activity that makes participants stronger and more energetic, prevents weight gain and helps lower anxiety and stress.  Walk Michigan! events can be coordinated by any community agency, and all participating agencies receive a Coordinator's Manual (or CD) with marketing ideas, reporting documents and other useful information to guide leaders to a successful Walk Michigan! experience.

Great Goal, Great Opportunity — the Mackinac Labor Day Bridge Walk
A trip for 2 (two) to Mackinac Island on Labor Day weekend to walk the Bridge with the Governor and thousands of walking enthusiasts is a great incentive to keep people walking. If communities or sponsors purchase the trip package, each time a walker participates in a Walk Michigan! event, they sign a registration card and have the chance to win the trip to Mackinac Island. The Walk Michigan! package can also be purchased as a travel program for individuals. The Mackinac Bridge Labor Day Walk package is a four-day/three night stay on Mackinac Island at the beautiful Mission Point Resort beginning Friday evening and culminating in the bridge walk and brunch on Monday morning.

Extra Night Special!! Participants who wish to stay an additional night at Mission Point may do so for $99. Please make arrangements directly with the hotel in order to take advantage of this special offer.
