SA SIGNS UP TO WALK FOR BETTER HEALTH

With Walk to Work Day barely two weeks away on Friday 1 October, South Australians are being urged to get behind the national event.

Employers can register to be Walking Workplaces and individuals can register to Pledge to Put their Feet First and win a walking holiday for two people thanks to wotif.com or one of 250 new pairs of Rockport shoes valued at $200 a pair.

Pedestrian Council of Australia Chairman Harold Scruby says people who walk before and during work are healthier, more alert and productive in their jobs, and less likely to take sick leave.

The event is now in its 12^th year and is completely free. Register at www.walk.com.au
