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 2018 by the numbers:

• 126,200 calories burned
• 1,388 pounds of carbon dioxide prevented (due to walking instead of driving)
• 1,262 miles walked
• 375+ participants
• 13 local businesses offering great deals
• 8 amazing volunteers
• 4 great vendors to welcome guests 
• 3 event partners including #WalkCLT sponsor, OrthoCarolina 
• 2 exciting activities hosted along the greenway
• 2 supportive neighborhood-based organizations engaged
• 1 incredible evening celebrating walking as a form of sustainable transportation!
