6th Annual Grow & Walk-A-Thon 5K
This community wellness event is the culmination of Grow & Walk Philly, a multi-week greening and walking program aimed at improving individual and community health. It invites neighbors and residents to have fun while staying fit.
The Walk-A-Thon will increase your appreciation for the West Oak Lane neighborhood and its green spaces, connecting you with others who are passionate about gardening and health. Highlights during the walk include various green assets such as a library, school, front yard gardens, a recreation center, and a park.
Starting at the West Oak Lane Library, the walk/run will follow Washington Lane, a main thoroughfare in Northwest Philadelphia, and conclude at Awbury Park, where a group celebration and complimentary lunch will be held.
This low-profile walk is perfect for beginners, leisure walkers, and families. A personal trainer will be on-site to provide coaching.
Grow & Walk - A-Thon is FREE for West Oak Lane residents. Participants living outside West Oak Lane are asked to pay a sliding scale fee of $20-$40.
