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! 

Thank you to our 2020 project partners!
