Let’s Get Moving: Healthy Spring launches Walk This May initiative to promote community wellness

As the sun shines brighter and the flowers bloom, the final act of Let's Get Moving: Healthy Spring is here; the Walk This May initiative! With a focus on community wellness and the joy of walking, Walk This May aims to inspire residents across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland to embrace the benefits of walking throughout National Walking Month.

Throughout the month of May, participants are encouraged to incorporate more walking into their daily routines, whether it's a leisurely stroll in the park, a brisk walk during lunch breaks, or an evening walk with friends and family. Every step taken brings us closer to better health and well-being.

To celebrate the start of National Walking Month, local residents are encouraged to join a Walk Together community walking group, where they can connect with fellow walkers, explore local trails, and kick off the month-long initiative.

Throughout May, there will be additional walking events, challenges and activities taking place throughout Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland, and so it is advised to contact your local Physical Activity, Health & Wellbeing Team to find out what's on near you!

Participants are encouraged to share their walking adventures on social media using the hashtag #WalkThisMay, inspiring and motivating others to join the movement.
