Walking The Mile

It is helpful and easy enough to have everyone begin Walking together in a group. Here are some things to consider for the Walk Event to have the biggest impact:

Keep Walkers together. This is visually more stunning and more powerful. It also helps Walkers talk with one another, chant with one another and build enthusiasm with one another.
Head the Walk with a banner. This announces the Walk and serves as a boundary to keep Walkers together. Walk at a pace that is not too fast nor too slow so that Walkers will be energetic following.
Follow the banner heading the Walk with a drumline. Drumlines are fun, noisy and provide a pace for the Walk.
Have someone at the tail of the Walk so slower Walkers won't feel abandoned or "less than" when they discover that walking in high heels is really hard going!
