What is National Walking Month?

May is National Walking Month, giving you the opportunity to get active, discover local walks and enjoy all the fantastic benefits of walking. This year’s initiative, organised by The Living Streets, is centred on #Try20, which encourages people to walk for 20 minutes every day in May for 20 days.

In addition to improving physical and mental health, walking can lower the risk of a number of preventable health conditions. These include certain cancers, depression, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes.

You can also contribute to reducing air pollution, traffic congestion and road hazards by walking instead of driving – all while saving money and being healthier!
