How do I choose the best route for a walking event?

Choosing a route involves considering factors like distance, terrain, safety, and accessibility. What type of event are you planning?

It's a charity walk, and I want it to be scenic but also manageable for all ages.

That sounds great! Look for routes that have parks or waterfronts. You might also want to check for rest areas along the way.

What about the distance? How long should it be?

For a charity walk, a distance of 3 to 5 miles is usually ideal. It’s long enough to be challenging but short enough for families.

Any tips on promoting the route to participants?

Absolutely! Use social media, local community boards, and flyers. Highlight the scenic spots and any fun activities along the route.
