Outdoor Walking Club
The summer hit is back for another season of walking fun. The group will walk for up to an hour each Friday throughout the summer. This is free for all ages who enjoy walking and also the social aspect of getting outside with friends and getting some exercise. We walk at a slow pace to accommodate everyone and take multiple breaks. Through the course of the summer we will walk all over the city of Watertown. Meet by 9:00am sharp each week to walk with the group at the various locations listed below. No commitment, Just show up to walk when you can. The walks are free and we encourage everyone to attend.
