Ready, Set, Walk! How buckheadWALKS! Supports Your Mental Health

 In Greenspace, Health and Wellness, PATH400

As the days grow longer and the city bursts into bloom, there’s no better time to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and embrace movement. buckheadWALKS! is back for its 8th year, inviting Buckhead residents and employees to take part in a month-long walking challenge designed to boost well-being, foster community, and showcase Buckhead’s walkability—all for free!

We all know that walking is good for our health, but its impact goes beyond just fitness. A daily stroll can reduce stress, enhance mood, and clear the mind—simple steps with powerful benefits. Whether you’re taking a peaceful solo walk along PATH400, joining coworkers for a lunchtime stroll, or competing with neighbors in a friendly step challenge, buckheadWALKS! is here to make every step count.

Throughout the month, participants will track their steps using the Wellable platform, earning points and prizes along the way. But this isn’t just about counting steps—it’s about exploring the best of Buckhead on foot. Stroll along PATH400, where art, nature, and city life intersect. Wander through tree-lined streets to grab a coffee or dinner at one of Buckhead’s many walkable restaurants. Celebrate the beauty of spring with a stop at the Bodacious Blooms Festival (May 1–3), where Buckhead will be in full bloom with stunning floral installations and special events.

Walking is even better with company, and buckheadWALKS! makes it easy to team up with coworkers, friends, or neighbors. Whether forming a Company Team to boost office camaraderie or representing your neighborhood in a friendly competition, walking together strengthens community ties. And for those who prefer to walk solo, the Buckhead Community Team offers a way to stay engaged and motivated while still competing for individual prizes.

And don’t forget the special events along the way! Join Paws on the PATH (April 5th) to walk with your furry friends, or take your walking game to the next level at the buckheadRUN! 5K (May 3rd).

So, are you ready to step into a healthier, more connected Buckhead? Registration opens soon, so stay tuned and get ready to lace up your sneakers. The journey starts April 4th—where will your steps take you?
