While most folks will never walk across the Cowboy State in real life, the Walk Across Wyoming program give them a chance to do so virtually and get a head start on what could be a new idea to jump start their exercise routine.

With a program designed to engage the citizens of Wyoming in a more active and healthy lifestyle, the annual Walk Across Wyoming contingent now enters their third year.

The organizers are making a concerted effort to encourage participation from not just individuals but businesses and organizations as well.   Using an interactive program as part of the Casper Star Tribune, the organizers will take you on a virtual trip beginning at Devil’s Tower and stopping at 25 towns across the Cowboy State and finishing in Evanston.
This eight-week program affords participants the chance to walk up to 250 miles or roughly 500,000 steps.  Weekly prizes and a Grand Prize will be awarded based on individual steps.
Those interested in signing up can turn their web browser towards www.trib.com/walk to register and get warmed up for the program which will take place from June 8 through July 31.  Registration is currently taking place.  In order to qualify for prizes, individuals must complete at least 70 percent of the overall distance.
