We love to walk year-round, but we especially encourage folks to get out and lead walks in their neighborhood during STEPtember! STEPtember is a month of walking fun, brought to you by Oregon Walks.
Oregon Walks conceived of STEPtember as a way to promote walking as a fun, healthy, ubiquitous activity in the Portland metro region. anyone can create, post, and lead a walk. Walks are put on by people like you! It was developed as the “Pedalpalooza for walking.” Thanks to Shift for creating such a great idea!
Let us know if you are interested in leading a walk and we'll put you on the calendar!
