This Walk With A Doc program is designed to provide some general health information and a moderately-paced walk. This is a FREE walk, but we ask that you pre-register. This walk is appropriate for all ages and children are welcome to attend but should be accompanied by a responsible adult.
The walk leader will be Dr. Bob Little.
This is a rain-or-shine event; however, we will not walk in the snow or icy conditions. The email you use when registering is where we will contact you should there be any weather modifications necessary.
Most of the walk will be flat, but there may be some slightly elevated areas. We encourage you to come out and join the walk for as long or as little as you can. It will be an out-and-back walk with a length of approximately 2 miles. You can also stay and walk around City Island if you would like to walk further on your own.
