Grow & Walk -A-Thon

🌱 Event Overview

The 5th Annual Grow & Walk-A-Thon is back! As the culminating event of Grow & Walk Philly - a multi-week greening and walking program designed to improve individual and community health - this community wellness event invites neighbors and area residents to have fun while being fit.

🏃‍♂️ Walk Details

Not exactly a 5K (2.9 miles - close enough!), the Walk-A-Thon will still get your heart rate up, increase appreciation for the West Oak Lane neighborhood and its green spaces, & connect you to other green thumbs, seedfolks, and health enthusiasts.

During the walk neighborhood highlights will include green assets throughout the neighborhood including a library, school, front yard gardens, rec center and a park.

📍 Starting Point and Route

The Grow And Walk-A-Thon begins at the West Oak Lane Library and will be a simple walk starting on one of the main thoroughfares in Northwest Philadelphia - Washington Lane. The walk/run will end at Awbury Park where there will be a group celebration and complimentary lunch.

👟 Who Can Join

This low profile walk/run is ideal for beginners, leisure walkers, and families. You won't want to miss it: there will even be a personal trainer on-site to help coach everyone through!
