Due to expected rainy conditions, we’ve made the decision to cancel this Saturday’s Walktober Kickoff at Centennial Park. But don’t let the rain stop you - Walktober is officially underway! Start getting those steps in and tracking your progress.

We’re planning a Mid-Point Celebration at Centennial Park, with more details coming soon!

In the meantime, join us for Loews Strolls every Saturday in October from 9 to 10 AM at Richard Greene Linear Park. More information available at: qrs.ly/LoewsStrolls
