What is Walk Across Arkansas (WAA)?

Invest in your health by participating in the new and improved "Walk Across Arkansas."

The eight-week program was designed for all Arkansans to become active through exercise while creating and meeting personal goals with team support.

The WAA campaign is coordinated by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service, Family Consumer Sciences Department. We invite everyone to participate in activities that will encourage movement and promote health.

What will be required of me?

To participate in WAA, you will need:

  • a team of two to 10 people
  • a stopwatch, or watch
  • a team captain
  • a team name
  • to set a personal goal
  • a good pair of walking shoes
  • a willingness to record your exercise minutes each day

For more details of the program, contact your local county extension agent.

What kinds of activities should I do?

Although most people choose to walk for their daily activity, you can conduct any activity you want (swimming, running, bike riding, etc).

Exercise qualifies as any activity that is performed "with the intent to be physically active, raises heart rate and/or causes you to break a sweat" for at least 10 minutes at a time.

How can I register?

WAA is now online! You can register your team at http://survey.uaex.edu/WAA/teamregistration.htm.

Or you can contact your local county extension agent for more information and paper registration.
