Walk Across Texas is a 32 week walking and or biking (see conversion sheet) program for teams of eight people. Team sponsorships are $100 per team (team members can sponsor themselves or can be sponsored by any local business.) Businesses can sponsor more than 1 team. Participants walk and or bike for 32 weeks in teams of eight (members do not have to walk or bike together). One member needs to be the team captain. Members of a team combine their individual mileage each week. Teams compete to see which one reaches the equivalent of the 1,000 mile destination. Those teams completing the 4 bi-monthly goals will receive prizes and those completing the program and achieving the 1,000 mile goal will go into a drawing for the grand prize!
