What we’re about
Do you like walking slow and steady in parks and city streets?
My pace is about 2 mile an hour. If the 3 mile pace of most walking groups leaves you in the dust, than you have found your solution with Slow Walking! Walking at your natural pace allows you to walk for longer stretches without tiring.
1 hour out
Rests as needed
1 hour back
Weekly walks will be on the North side of Chicago, will always start near a bus stop for easy access, and will loop back to the starting point.
Some crowd favorite routes have been Horner Park/Chicago River, North Branch Bike Trail, the Lakefront at Montrose Harbor, the Riverwalk, and discovering neighborhoods.
Collecting experiences is more important to me than racking up miles. Watch ducks on the river and the sun filtering through the trees. Stop to read a ghost sign on the side of a building, or to admire architectural details. Try that side street or that unexpected candy store. Enjoy easy going companionship.
Bring a water bottle and wear a sun hat in warm weather.
