SATURDAY, April 25th– The Walk 'n Mass Volkssport Club invites walkers to complete a 5km
or 10km (3.1 or 6.2 mile) walk route in Weston, MA. This is a walk-at-your-own pace, just-for-fun
event “in your own backyard.”
The start point is the Weston Public Library, 87 School Street, Weston, MA 02493. Register
and begin walking between 10:30-12:30. Finish by 4 p.m. There is a $4 participation fee per
person. Donations are accepted. The 5km and 10km routes are on mostly flat and paved
surfaces.The trail would be doable for strollers but difficult for wheelchairs due to the trail
through the woods, a short grassy path, and uneven pavement in some places.
The 10km route consists of the 5km route with 2 loops branching off the 5km route. Except
for one stretch of the 10km route following a trail through some woods and another short, steep
path joining the rail trail, both routes are on sidewalks and the rail trail passing some historic
buildings, residential areas with large homes and tree-filled spaces. Both the 10km and 5km
routes continue and exit onto Concord Rd to complete the route through the center of Weston.
Walkers will pass the fieldstone First Parish Church and the Colonial Revival-style Weston
Town Hall, a fire station built in 1914 the town’s original library built in 1899 and now the home of
Weston Art & Innovation Center as well as the Weston Media Center.
