Beginning in 1997, Walk+Roll events have been hosted by schools around the world to encourage and celebrate students walking and rolling to school. The main two events are Walk+Roll to School Day in October and the Walk+Roll May Challenge with newer events being added to encourage students to walk and roll all year long.
Through annual surveys, local Walk+Roll coordinators across the country have expressed how a simple one-day event has led to great changes such as long-term walking and bicycling programs, new sidewalks and pathways, and needed policy changes at schools and in communities. Improvements that normally take a long time to institute can happen quickly when city officials walk or bicycle to school with students and see firsthand what needs to be done.
