Walking is so healthy for you! During our time together, we will discuss the mental and physical benefits of walking and will learn about the best clothing, shoes and gear you need to stay comfortable no matter the temperature or distance. We'll also discuss hydration and preparing for a race - yes, you can walk a race!

Each week, we will begin with a short meet & greet and education session then we'll go for a walk; each walk will be between 30 minutes to one hour depending on your goals.

Apparel and shoe experts will be available before and after our walks to assist with proper fittings as necessary.
