What is it?

Austin Moves! is a free 6-week walking program, facilitated by the City of Austin’s Austin Public Health (APH) Chronic Disease & Injury Prevention Unit.

This community walking program brings people together to get active, meet others, and explore Austin/Travis County one step at a time. You can walk with friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors — anywhere — and track your progress as a group. It’s a fun, flexible way to stay moving and motivated.

We offer Spring and Fall Sessions to get you moving. Want to be part of our upcoming Fall Session? Sign up now and let’s walk together. Click the button below.
