The Walk 'n Mass Volkssport Club invites walkers to complete a 5km or 10km (3.1 or 6.2 mile) walk route in Warren, RI. This is a walk-at-your-own pace, just-for-fun event “in your own backyard”.

    The start point is the German American Club, 27 Kelly Rd, Warren RI 02885. The walk start time is between 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 Noon and finish by 3:00 p.m.

     The 10km route is comprised of two 5km loops, a town loop and a bike path loop.     

     The town loop heads through the Warren Waterfront Historic District with a variety of architectural styles from the 19th century. The town route passes the oldest brick house in town, built in the 1750’s and continues to Warren Town Beach and Main Street before passing by the Warren Armory, Warren Common and the historic Methodist Church.

       The bike path loop is entirely on the East Bay Bike Path crossing over two bridges into Barrington. It passes by Police Cove Park and the Barrington Shopping Center before heading back to the finish.

       Both loops are mostly flat and on paved surfaces. The trail would be doable for strollers but might be difficult for wheelchairs due to uneven pavement surfaces.

         Volkssporting events sponsored by Walk 'n Mass Volkssport Club promote fun, fitness and friendship through non-competitive walking and biking events for a $4 participation fee. There is also an achievement awards program through the AVA America’s Walking Club. For more information contact Ann at [email protected] or visit www.walknmass.org.
