There is no fee for your community or agency to participate in the Walk Michigan!/Walking Works! program.  Participating communities will receive a complete coordinator’s packet that has helpful and valuable information to assist you in organizing Walk Michigan/Walking Works! activities in your community, educational materials to share with your program participants and marketing materials useful for your community’s program. 

Trips for Two to Mackinac Island
Participating communities will have a chance to win a trip for two to participate in Michigan’s famous Labor Day Bridge Walk and visit beautiful and historic Mackinac Island!  Last year more than 175 walkers, guests, and volunteers enjoyed the trip.  Many participating communities also offer additional prizes.  As a participating agency, you will also have a first-chance opportunity to purchase the Mackinac Island Labor Day weekend package participant give-away.  This exciting travel package, which consists of a four days/three nights stay at the Mission Point Resort on Michigan’s stunning and historic Mackinac Island, can be an outstanding incentive for encouraging walker participation in your scheduled Walk Michigan/Walking Works! events.  You may wish to offer this luxury travel package as a Grand Prize to walkers in your Walk Michigan/Walking Works! programs.  Communities that do not purchase this special package may pass the opportunity to purchase a trip directly on to walkers.  Trip packages are available to all walkers, so everyone’s a fitness winner in Walk Michigan/Walking Works!
