Walk It Off with the Y

Walk It Off with the Y 2025

Our Summer Walking Event

In Alton Baker Park

Walk It Off with the Y is back—and you're invited to make this summer your most fun and active one yet! Every Wednesday at Alton Baker Park, we’re turning movement into a celebration with guided and independent walks, weekly raffles, and family-friendly fun for all ages.

Each week features a fun theme—think costumes, color days, and more—and joining in on the theme gives you extra chances to win great prizes. So grab your walking shoes, bring a friend (or the whole family!), and come stroll, laugh, and play with us in the sunshine.

Check out the dates and weekly themes below—and we’ll see you at the park!
