About Walk Richmond
Walking regularly is one of the easiest ways to get the recommended 30 to 60 minutes of daily physical activity needed to ensure good health. Walk Richmond helps make this goal more attainable by offering free walks throughout the year, providing opportunities to volunteer and supplying resources to help keep you moving!
Free Guided Walks
Walks are for all ages and fitness levels and are led by a member of the Richmond Fitness and Wellness Association. Come connect with other walkers in Richmond!
