This is a free 12 month program in which You:

And they:
Monitor your health outcomes at the 6 & 12 month check- in’s. The program features 6 & 12 month check in’s to see how walking has improved your overall health. All you have to do is provide some baseline information at sign up (height, weight, activity level, etc.) with which they will use to monitor your health throughout the 12 month program.
Program participants can join in the weekly group walks through town, or walk on their own and record their progress that way. The ultimate goal is to get Manchester to Move More, whether you do this on your own, or in a group.
This walking program also offers fun local events just for those living and working in Manchester. For example, each month there will be a different themed walk. Keep a close watch on their calendar to see which fun themed walks are coming up! Also, during the spring and summer time, they will have walks to the farmer’s market downtown. Make sure you bring your wallet so you can pick up your fresh produce!
This program offers fun ways to be involved in the community, while improving your health at the same time! So, let's get some DUTCH DETERMINATION and MOVE MORE!
