Walk to Work Week 2012 will be taking place on the 14 to 18 May 2012 as part of the Great 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.

Not your first time?
If you took part in Walk to Work Week 2011 and already have a profile and group set up on our My Living Streets website then the good news is that you don't have to re-register. We've kept everything live to make it easier for you to take the reins again and have more time to get new people on board. Last year’s efforts are still up but you will be able to see your specific totals and new leaderboards for this year’s challenge once the Week has started.
If things have changed and you want to update details on your profile or about your group then you can log back at any time to do this. Whether you've changed jobs, have a new address or want to amend your group name - you can do this and more using the "edit profile" and "edit group" settings when you log back in.
