Let's Walk!

Welcome to the Walk Across Illinois Challenge, Governor Pat Quinn's health and fitness challenge to all Illinois residents!

In 2001, Governor Pat Quinn walked 167 miles from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan to call for decent health care for all. Now in 2012, he's calling for you to get in shape and live healthier!

Walk Across Illinois is a health and fitness challenge designed to encourage Illinois residents to walk 167 miles this year, the equivalent of walking across Illinois from the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan.

The Walk Across Illinois Challenge is open to all residents of Illinois. Whether you're young or old, walking is an easy, fun fitness activity that we can all do at our own pace.
