Meet other local people who are interested in walking for fitness! We'll meet up to walk around Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park and on local trails. We've also been known to do a little hiking, biking, eating and drinking as a group. To lose weight and to keep it off, you need to get moving.

My usual and favorite form of exercise is weight lifting & body building. I want to mix it up with cardio and other forms and I decided to run outdoors. I assumed that I would find many runners in the hood to run with and came to meetup. Not finding any group here, I decided to start my own.
