Henrico County Walks- Kick Off!

A new Health Trip initiative to address the County’s growing health concerns and to keep our employees in the best health possible.

Henrico County Walks is for ALL County employees to focus on the importance of regular physical activity to maintain physical and emotional well-being. It is a fact – regular physical activity is essential for good health!

• Every 9 weeks, employee teams will set out toward a new destination city. The journey begins in Augusta, Maine as you head to the Big Apple – New York City!
• To cover the 386-mile distance, employees will need to form a team. It is recommended that a walking team should consist of 3 to 4 team members. A jogging/running team can have 1 to 4 team members.
  • Number of miles per week to complete based on total number of team members:
    • 4-member team: 10.72 miles per week, per team member
    • 3-member team: 14.3 miles per week, per team member
    • 2-member team: 21.4 miles per week, per team member
    • 1-member team: 42.9 miles per week
