THE LEAGUE OF WALKERS IS A NATIONAL REGISTRY OF
PEOPLE COMMITTED TO WALKING 30 MINUTES A DAY,
EVERY DAY.
WHO?
Anyone can join, whether you are just getting
started with walking, or are already a daily walker.
WHY?
When you fill out our digital postcard, we’ll post
your name on our site to show your pledge.
We’ll also send you a real postcard in the mail to
display at home or work.
And best of all, we’ll send you a nifty pendant to
lace on your shoes or watch. When you advance GO.
to the next level of walking, we’ll send you a new
pendant.

5. WALKERS GET 2 THINGS IN THE
MAIL: POSTCARD + PENDANT.
After submitting their
information on
www.leagueofwalkers.com,
people get a postcard in the
mail to post on their fridge or
at work. This serves as a
reminder of their pledge and
also lets them publicly share
their commitment with
friends and family.
6. THE PENDANT DISPLAYS YOUR
PLEDGE.
People also receive a pendant along with
the postcard to loop on their shoelaces or
watch. This is a way to publicly identify as
being part of this walking registry, and
increases their sense of personal pride.
Like the coveted Tiffany's necklaces that
finishers of the Nike Women's Marathon
get, the pendants are like a badge of
honor.
The physical postcard and pendant also
act as a visible trigger to remind the
person to continue walking, too.
7. AS YOU WALK MORE OFTEN, YOU
EARN NEW PENDANTS.
When people reach a
new category of
walking, they get a new
color pendant, similar to
advancing in levels of
karate. This makes the
pendants even more
aspirational. BEGINNER ENTHUSIAST DEVOTEE CHAMPION
