GROUP WALK TO TAKE PLACE IN HOLLISTON, MASS.
The Walk 'n Mass Volkssport Club welcomes the public to its traditional group “Soup Walk” taking place in Holliston, Mass. on Saturday, March 26. The walk is non-competitive and participants are encouraged to walk at their own pace along a prescribed route. Walkers are offered a choice of walking one or two 5 km (3.1 mile) loops. All participants are invited to join in the Soup Social after the walk.
The first loop travels through downtown Holliston and passes a number of historical landmarks such as the Arch Street Bridge, the Historical Society’s Asa Whiting House and Fiske’s General Store. The second loop of the 10 km route travels through the Thomas Hollis Historic District with stately antique colonial homes dating to the early 19th century.

The start point for the walk is the First Congregational Church, 725 Washington Street, Holliston. Registration times are 9:30-10:30 a.m. for 10 km walkers (those walking both loops) and 10:30-11:00 a.m. for 5 km walkers. The entire walk route is on paved surfaces suitable for strollers but would be difficult for wheelchairs due to a lack of curb cuts. Leashed pets are welcome but clean-up laws apply. However, pets cannot be allowed in the dining hall.
