Step into Life is a countywide walking campaign designed to inspire everyone living or working in Alameda County to enjoy the journey by walking. Step into Life focuses not just on exercise, but on encouraging people to walk for many of the trips they make each day. Just a little time walking each day can make a huge difference.
