FITNESS WALK

The Fitness Walk is open for everyone to join! This 1 mile course starts with the 10K on Hillside Road and finishes at the same finish line. This loop route travels through the heart of UCONN’s Storrs Campus and passes by the Veterans Memorial. The course is relatively flat and takes place completely on paved roads and pedestrian paths.

COURSE

The Fitness Walk will start in the same location as the 10K on Hillside Road, , south of the intersection with Glenbrook Road. Both the 10K & Fitness Walk will travel together for the first 0.8 miles. The 5K will start in a separate location.

All walkers should line up in the back, behind the 10K runners.
