The route usually lasts **about 1.5 hours**, giving you time to move, chat, and start your day feeling accomplished. I also encourage everyone to get to know fellow members by chatting with different people throughout the walk. When we circle back to the parking lot, I often invite members to switch walking partners so everyone has the chance to connect and build new friendships.
