Looking for a way to stay active? Want to explore our west Orange Community? How about making new friends? Have we got the program for you!
Join the West Orange Walkers.
Healthy West Orange, Orlando Health, and the YMCA of Central Florida have come together to offer monthly meetups, 5ks, and breakfasts, all across west Orange, and all year long! Enjoy prizes, quarterly breakfasts, and so much more!
Joining the West Orange Walkers not only gives you a chance to meet others and make friends, but share your health journey, and celebrate your successes!
Our first meetup of the year will be on Tuesday, January 9 at 8:30am at the Healthy West Orange Wellness Park, right across from the Ocoee Police Department! More info about this year's meetup dates and locations here: https://healthywestorange.org/wowalkers/
One of the biggest benefits? The West Orange Walkers not only connects you with wonderful places to walk around the community, but also provides access to climate-controlled environments for you to enjoy. Florida weather can be tricky. It’s hot (very hot) for most of the year, and serious thunderstorms can erupt without warning. The Roper YMCA, and the West Oaks Mall offer options (see below for available dates and times by location) for you to walk inside, without worrying about the weather. Rain or shine, hot or cold, joining the West Orange Walkers is the perfect way to meet your friends and get in your steps.
- Step 1: Join us at a monthly meetup or breakfast (see schedule below) and make sure to return your registration card to be eligible for an indoor walking badge and all the goodies!
- Step 2: Enjoy walking throughout the community! Don’t forget to wear your badge if you are walking at the West Oaks Mall or YMCA, and track your laps, distance, or time active.
- Step 3: Keep motivated by joining us every month as we explore our favorite places to walk in west Orange. Meet up with other walkers and win some awesome prizes.
It’s FREE and FUN for the whole family! West Oaks Mall is available to walkers starting at 9:00 am – 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday and 12:00 noon – 6:00 pm on Sundays. Each lap = 0.78 miles or 4 laps for a 5K
