What is Walk or Run to Quit? Walk or Run to Quit (WRTQ) helps commercial tobacco users quit smoking by learning to walk or run 5 km! WRTQ is a partnership between the Canadian Cancer Society and Running Room with funding by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Over the course of 10-weeks, participants will receive step-by-step, leader-led instruction to build their walking/running stamina while also cutting down or quitting smoking. The program is for all fitness levels and the step-by-step approach makes it easier to quit smoking by becoming more active. Walking and running can help smokers cope with discomfort and cravings while cutting down or quitting.

● Access to evidence-based commercial tobacco cessation information and resources
● Opportunities for peer-to-peer support
● Personalized quit smoking & walk/run support delivered by a community-based leader
