FITNESS WALK

The Fitness Walk is open for everyone to join! This 1 mile course starts with the 5K on Iron Horse Boulevard and finishes at the same finish line. This out and back route takes participants to the Farmington River and offers views of the iconic Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge.

The course is relatively flat and completely on paved roads.

COURSE

The Fitness Walk will start in the same location as the 5K on Iron Horse Boulevard. It will begin on the east side of the median, near the intersection with Wilcox Street, about ¼ mile south of the Simsbury Performing Arts Center. Both the Fitness Walk and 5K will travel together for the first 0.5 miles.

All walkers should line up in the back, behind the 5K runners.
