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.
