Wellness Activities
Tuesday, October 21
Morning Walk: Departing at 6:30 AM from the entry of the skywalk in the Amway. Return by 7:15 AM. Get your steps in as you explore the Grand Rapids skywalk system! The skywalk covers nearly 1 mile as it travels above the city and protects pedestrians from the cold, hot, rain, or other surprises Michigan weather can bring. In the shorter daylight hours of October, the skywalk provides an early morning exercise option or just an efficient way to get around. Our walk will meet at the entry to the skywalk in the Amway Grand (near the grand piano) and will be an “out and back” covering approximately 1.5 miles of above ground tunnels! https://www.grandriverfront.com/news/grand-rapids-skywalk
