The November "Nashville on the Move" walk was a great success, with many downtown employees turning out to enjoy the fall day by walking on their lunch breaks. Nashville on the Move will not host a walk in December, but please stay tuned in January for exciting announcements and new routes for 2010.
The Nashville on the Move partnership would like to thank every person who helped make the initiative a success in 2009. The growth of the walk and the positive feedback from participants touched the hearts of many who strive to see a healthier Nashville and state of Tennessee. Nashville on the Move looks forward to building on this enthusiasm in the New Year.

The Nashville on the Move initiative encourages employees in Music City and across Tennessee to move a little more during their work day by walking during their lunch break with friends or colleagues. The walks are held every first Friday of the month* at various locations across Nashville from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Employees hosting the new course in Metro Center have decided to continue their walk until 2 p.m.
The route maps for all locations are available here and on the Nashville on the Move Facebook page.
