Introducing: DNA Walking Club

Written by Arlo Grey MacFarland

One month from now, on Saturday, October 25, 2025, The Downtown Neighbors Alliance (DNA) will be starting its walking club!  As part of the Living Well Initiative, this walking club encourages regular exercise and community-building activities in the downtown area.  Helping to create another third space downtown, the DNA’s walking club is a free, all-ages, and dog-friendly group.

With the help of two walking guides, the route will take you throughout the downtown area, across two bridges, and briefly crossing through the north shore.  Coming out to a roughly 35 minute walk, the group will begin in Mellon Square and end at Mellon Square Coffee.

If you have a passion for fitness, trying to make healthier choices, or just looking for some community, then you are welcome at the DNA walking club.  Join us at 10 a.m. in Mellon Square Park on October 25, and see what walking club is all about!
