I have come across a rather exciting day which is referred to as the National Walk to School Day. It seems like an official day that should work well in many schools in Australia.
What Happens on a National Walk Day?
The first Wednesday of every week in October is a day when exercise is encouraged. On the day, the daily commute by students to the school will switch from Transport to walking. This assumes that the distance is practical of course. I cannot think of a better time of year, than the beautiful Spring Time in Australia right now to go for a walk. Fresh air, and exercise is a great excuses to walk to school.
Walking is good for the heart, your general health, and even your mental health. Try and walk for at least 30 minutes each day.
Sharing on Social Media
Social media is used to recognize each person’s walking to school; the official hashtag is #walktoschoolday
Share on any social media platform of your choice.

This particular event got me thinking of some excellent promotional gift ideas, to encourage people to walk more. Check them out below and let me know what you think.
Promotional Skipping Rope
Why walk when you can skip? That was what I was thinking when coming up with merchandise ideas to encourage walking.
Promotional Pedometers
Knowing how much walking you have done is always a good motivator to do more. This is why promotional pedometers have always been very popular.

Walking later in the day when it gets darker is always safer with custom reflective bands.
