Move It Monday and the Monday Mile
Move It Monday is an international Healthy Monday campaign that encourages people to start off the week with exercise.
The Monday Mile is a one-mile route mapped out as a way to increase physical activity and connection with others. Our Monday Mile locations are marked with signs that contain maps, directional arrows and distance markers so all you have to do is follow the signs. How easy is that?
Where Can I Walk a Monday Mile?
There are Monday Miles all over Central New York. Take a tour of the region with our Onondaga County Monday Miles and Madison County Monday Miles.
If you’re not from the area, don’t worry! It takes roughly 20 minutes for the average person to walk a mile. So, set your watch and start moving. You don’t need a physical route to walk your mile!

Monday Mile with a Mission
We’ve teamed up with several student organizations to create Monday Miles with a Mission which adds a spin on the typical Monday Mile by evoking a sense of purpose and pride among participants. Students come together to represent their organization, spread awareness for their cause, meet new people and connect with each other, all while walking for their health.
If you’re interested in creating a Monday Mile route, leading a themed Monday Mile, or have your own mission you’d like to share, contact the Healthy Monday team.
