Go Walking With Millburn's New Walking Club

MILLBURN, NJ — The Millburn Health Department will offer a free Walking Club starting in April. The Club will meet on Fridays to walk around the reservoir at the South Mountain Recreation Complex, located in West Orange.

The Walking Club will meet from 10-11 a.m. on Fridays from April 15 through June 3, weather permitting.

The Walking Club is free and open to adults over the age of 18. They will meet in the free public parking lot at McLoone’s Boathouse. The walk is 1.75 miles around the reservoir, which should take about one hour.

"Walking is a great way to get some exercise and offers many health benefits," the town noted. "It can help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce joint pain, improve balance, lower the risk of high blood pressure, and more."

Wearing masks at any walks is optional.

All participants will be kept informed of any changes to covid-19 guidelines and guidance from the New Jersey Department of Health will be followed for the program.

Pre-registration for the Walking Club is required. For questions or to pre-register, contact Jessica, Health Educator, at 973-535-7961 ext. 227 or jekelly@livingstonnj.org.
