We Hike the Trolley Trail

We Walk PHL is for everyone! It's more than just a walk in the park. It's an experience! We Walk PHL seeks to promote positive health outcomes, increase the use of Philadelphia’s park system, and create opportunities for people to pursue fitness goals, educational adventures & wellness experiences while meeting their neighbors.

We are walking to build strength and endurance  while getting some historical context on the Trolley Trail in preparation for the Boxer’s Trail 5k and over all wellbeing. This walk will be facilitated  by Kevin Roche, Chief of Staff at Fairmount Park Conservancy. Plenty of free parking in the parking lot and a porta-potty on the premises

These are family friendly walks. We have a special code for We Walkers to participate in the Boxer’s Trail 5k. Show up to a walk and or contact Nicole if you’d like to walk/run the Boxer’s Trail 5k Race.
