Walktober
Join Us for Walktober!
River’s Way invites you to come walk with us on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Tennessee Middle School outdoor track. This inclusive community walk is free, open to all, and welcomes walkers, strollers, wheelchairs — anyone who wants to move, connect, and celebrate.
Walktober isn’t just a walk. It’s a statement: physical health, mental well-being, and community belong to us all. Our Game Changers (young adults in our programs with differing abilities) will be walking alongside you—leading by example, inspiring, laughing, and sharing their walking stories.
There will also be light stretching, dancing, information on River’s Way programming, opportunities to give/support our organization, Active Beast t-shirts for sale, and prize giveaways.
By walking with us, you’re supporting River’s Way’s mission of creating opportunities for people of all abilities to shine, fostering and improving health, making social connections, and encouraging inclusion in our community.
What to Expect:
-A relaxed, welcoming walk — go at your own pace and walk as long as you’d like
-Accessible route for strollers, wheelchairs, and walkers
-Music, light warmups, prize giveaway & community fun
-A chance to meet and walk with members of our programs
Why Come?
Because every step counts. Whether you’re a walker, a supporter, or someone who’s curious — your presence matters. Together, we’ll promote health, community, and belonging in Bristol.
Tell your friends & neighbors!
Bring someone with you. Let’s fill that track with feet and smiles!
