Walking Trails

Walking is one of the best ways for you to get regular exercise. It can be done nearly anywhere at nearly any time and doesn’t have to cost a penny. You can be young or old with nearly any type of body, and you can do it by yourself or with others.

Living in Lubbock means that you have many places to choose from if you want to walk. You can walk in parks, up and down canyons, or even inside if the weather is too hot or cold. It’s all up to you.

Challenge yourself and your family to get out and get fit together.

Walk Across Texas is a program which encourages walking in teams to keep track of miles walked. Their website provides tools for organization teams and managing progress.
