About #WalkCLT

#WalkCLT is a community initiative to get your neighborhood active and walking to local destinations. In 2015, Sustain Charlotte teamed up with OrthoCarolina to bring a first-of-its-kind walking initiative to promote walking as a form of transportation.

The goal of this event is to raise awareness of the role that walking can play as a mode of transportation and the many social, environmental, and economic benefits walking generates for ourselves and our community.

Here's the impact of #WalkCLT 2019 by the numbers:

90,000 calories burned
990 pounds of carbon dioxide prevented (due to walking instead of driving)
900 miles walked
300+ participants
15 raffle prizes
14 local businesses offering great deals
13 amazing volunteers
4 event partners including #WalkCLT sponsor, OrthoCarolina
3 exciting activities hosted along the greenway
2 live bands
1 incredible evening celebrating walking as a form of sustainable transportation!
