International Walk + Roll to School Day is a global event
International Walk + Roll to School Day is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking and rolling to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event, over time, it has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school. Today, thousands of schools across America–from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico–participate every October. Walk + Roll to School Day takes place on the first full week of October each year, and we strongly encourage schools to have students walk + roll for the whole month of October to encourage healthy habits that will continue all year long. Your school can choose to participate one day, one day per week, one day over multiple weeks, or the entire month.
