Walking is one of the best forms of exercise.  Exercising is more fun when doing so with others.  The South Shore has great walking areas, trails, parks and beaches for walking and hiking.  The South Shore Walkabouts Meetup Group is designed to combine all three of these by walking and socializing on the South Shore’s Walking Trails.  The primary focus of the Walkabouts is to Walk, however, we will occasionally participate in other fitness events including but not limited to Hiking and participating in The President’s Fitness Challenge and 5K’s.

Consider this a group of adult friends (21+) walking together.  Unless otherwise noted, no children or pets please.  While the majority of our Walks will be in the greater Braintree area, we will be walking all over the South Shore and may occasionally walk outside of our geographical area.

This Group is currently free to join and participate in thanks in part to our Sponsors and free parks.  If there are any costs affiliated with an event it will be clearly noted in the Event Description.  If you would like to make a voluntary contribution of $5 after your 3rd event to help cover the costs of our Group Site on Meetup.com please feel free to do so as we will not directly ask for any money.  Please learn more about our Sponsors on the “Sponsorship Info” page on the About Pages.  New Members are generally approved within 24 hours, however, since our Organizer Team consists of volunteers, please allow up to 3 days for approvals.

Effective 11/1/12: A No RSVP is not required, unless you are changing your RSVP from Yes to No.  Please keep in mind our RSVP Deadline and No-Show Policy, both of which are explained on our Membership Info Page.
