Walk to Work Week 2012 will be taking place on the 14 to 18 May 2012 as part of theGreat British Walking Challenge.

Make sure that you join the thousands of employees across the UK who will be walking to, from and during work as part of one of the healthiest workplace challenges around. You can sign up your workplace for free on our My Living Streets website; where you and your colleagues will be able to log your miles, minutes and steps walked and see individual as well as collective totals of miles walked, calories burnt and potential carbon dioxide savings.

We'll be sending out more information over the coming months in the run up to the challenge so make sure you keep checking back or keep up to date with our eBulletin.
