San Francisco is the nation’s first city to officially launch Walk to Work Day!

Join the celebration: Walk and share your photos and experiences using the #Walk2Work hash tag. Plus, walking just 15 minutes of your commute counts!

Sign up now (right) for updates, contests, tips, special offers on New Balance shoes and more.

• Get fit: A half-hour walk a day, reduces health risks, improves your mood — and lengthens your life, too!
• Go green: By choosing to walk for short trips instead of driving, you can help reduce San Francisco’s carbon emissions by 800,000 pounds a year.
• Bring friends: Download a FREE employer toolkit of resources (Poster, Benefits, Pedestrian Rights and the Law, New Balance discount and more!) to build the movement for a more walkable, livable city.

Win prizes: If you see a Walk to Work Day MUNI bus ad like this one and tweet about it or post a photo with #Walk2Work, you could win a prize! Be sure to follow Walk SF on Facebook and Twitter so we can let you know you’ve won.
