We will not be timing the walkers this year. Any walkers wishing to be timed must sign up as a runner.
About the Fitness Walk
The Fitness Walk is a great opportunity to come out and support Save Barnegat Bay and all of the other groups who will benefit from the proceeds. Also, it will provide you with the opportunity to walk along the shores of beautiful Barnegat Bay, to take in the views and see first hand why this event is so important. Come with a friend or make it a family affair. The 3 mile course features water stations at every mile and a digital clock at the finish.
