Start a Walking Group

Do you represent a relatively small, or informal, group of walkers? Up & Moving Pasadena is here to have your walking group in action by the end of the day!! (minimum of 5 participants per group)We recommend that you set a three-month goal for your group. Research shows that habits are best established after a two to four month period. Up & Moving Pasadena is designed to let you and your group SET YOR OWN GOALS. We will provide your t-shirts when you reach your goal. Some examples of goals you may want to consider are:

group walk at lunchtime 3x/week for three months
A walk around your neighborhood nearly every evening for three months
Meet at the Rose Bowl for a lap or two every Saturday morning
Group members use their pedometers to track 750,000 or 1,000,000 steps each
Count total miles for a mileage count of 100 miles per person
Depending upon the number of group members, find a reasonable mileage destination: San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Paris, The Moon . . .

When you register your group, you will receive a pedometer and logging cards for each participant in your group. The group leader will receive an Up & Moving Pasadena t-shirt at registration.
