This walking program is a fun and safe place to take a walk (at your pace), learn health tips from local healthcare professionals, and meet new people. The event is FREE and all are welcome!
Walking is SO GOOD for you! It is low impact and easier on the joints than running. Walking is safe and helpful for people with orthopedic ailments, heart conditions, and those who are overweight. Walk with a Doc is a program for everyone interested in taking steps for a healthier lifestyle. In the first few minutes you will learn about a health topic from a professional, then spend the rest of the hour enjoying a nice walk in nature and fun conversation. It’s a great way to get out, get active, and enjoy all the benefits that come from walking. You will walk at your own pace and comfortable distance.

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: MODERATE
4-mile hike with moderate hills, rocky terrain and some larger obstacles.
A hike through the Friends of the Blue Hills offers a serene escape into nature not too far from the city. The trails wind through the Blue Hills Reservation, which is home to a variety of terrain, from easy paths to more challenging climbs. In spring, you’ll see new growth along the trail—tender green leaves on the trees and early wildflowers starting to bloom. The air is fresh, and the gentle sounds of birds and rustling leaves surround you. A perfect way to enjoy the quiet rejuvenation of spring while staying close to the city!
This hike will be meeting in the Houghton’s Pond parking by the Kiosk!
