Why Walk

Worcester is meant for walking. Whether you walk as part of a fitness regimen, to socialize or just for the joy of it, there’s really nothing better than a great walk.

From beach to bay, woodlands to parkland, there is a location and surface for everyone. More than 15 walks of all lengths, surfaces and environments are included here, each showcased with drone video and a printable PDF that includes a map and highlights.

Need a goal? Join Just Walk Worcester, our incentivized walking program. At each milestone you reach, you’ll receive a prize! Report your mileage – we use the “honor” system – and a package will come your way. First prize offered is at 25 miles.
