For many years, DSO has offered the free Walk Delaware Program.
Thousands of Senior Delawareans have signed up for Walk Delaware. Its challenge is to walk a distance equal to the combined length and width of Delaware which is 131 Miles in one year’s time.
People join the program by completing a registration card. At that, time they would decide if they wanted to walk the distance or to optionally, run, bike or swim equivalent distances. There are 3 certificate levels. The distances, to be completed in a 12-month period, for each certificate level, are:
| LEVEL | WALK | BIKE | RUN | SWIM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 131 | 500 | 250 | 50 |
| Silver | 250 | 990 | 500 | 95 |
| Gold | 450 | 1750 | 900 | 175 |
They then record their distances in a provided log book and, when the required distance had been recorded, send in a card notifying DSO of their completion. They then receive a new log book, a certificate and a decorative pin to commemorate their accomplishment.
