It has become an inescapable topic of discussion, echoed in the news almost every day – escalating rates of obesity are a national health concern. Splashy headlines on the obesity issue are often limited to diet tips, weight-loss plans, and the latest exercise advice, but there is much more to the story.

Colorado Walks can connect reporters to experts in the field that will bring depth and authority to articles on walking for health, fitness, and transportation. We can also provide story ideas and background information on the movement to create walkable communities and neighborhoods, the link between the built environment and America’s sedentary lifestyle, the economic benefits of walkable communities, and "Who's Who" in walking in Colorado.

Story ideas include walking programs, Walk to School Colorado, Safe Routes to School programs, revitalizing communities by focusing on pedestrian needs, reengineering walking into our daily routines—and much more.
