We are encouraging intentional paced intervals, breathing, shoes with good tread, bring water, a smile, tell a friend, dress appropriately for the weather & let's #GetHealthyPhilly Shout out to our wonderful walk leaders! Teamwork makes the dream work! The last 2 walks we plan to practice the full 5k especially for the folks that plan to participate on race day! All are welcome to challenge themselves on the Boxer's Trail, take in the history & scenery as you build endurance doing your personal best each time whether you attend race day or not. Let's walk! Jog if you'd like! 🌳 The trail is dirt & gravel with inclines & a beautiful tree canopy to keep us a few degrees cool while on the trail! 🌳 Come, practice & learn more about joining the WeWalkPHL team on race day with our special code. Thanks to our friends at FPC & PPR.
