Walking

 

Get Walking Lanarkshire offers free, friendly group walks across Lanarkshire to help you get active, meet people and feel better. Our health walks are short, gentle and led by trained volunteers, making them ideal if you are new to walking, getting back into activity or living with a health condition.

What to expect

Our health walks are designed to be easy and welcoming:

• free to join
• last up to one hour
• led by trained walk leaders
• follow safe, planned routes
• taken at a relaxed, steady pace

Many routes are also suitable for wheeling.

Who can join

You can come along on your own or with others. There is no pressure to walk far or fast.
