WalkSC is a 12-week walking program based around personal step counting. WalkSC is self-paced: get your exercise in when it is most convenient for you! WalkSC includes weekly interactions with a Clemson Extension Rural Health and Nutrition Extension Agent via email. These emails provide “weekly walking challenges” corresponding to a section of the South Carolina Palmetto Trail. You will also have access to other health education and physical activity videos to help you meet your step and health goals.

Meet your step goals every week and you will have virtually walked the 500-mile Palmetto Trail spanning from the upstate of South Carolina to the coast, all while learning about yourself and the state!

Steps can be counted with smartphone apps or wearable devices such as a Fitbit, smart watch, or pedometer. Once enrolled, the Rural Health and Nutrition Extension Agent can assist you in tracking your steps if you do not have access to any of these options.

The program is free, but you must complete a pre-survey in order to join.
