Looking for a fun, easy way to stay active and connect with your neighbors? A walking club might be just the thing. Here at Lariat, our scenic trails and friendly streets create the perfect setting for casual strolls, heart-healthy movement, and meaningful conversations. Whether you're a morning walker or an evening explorer, starting a walking club is a great way to build community while enjoying the outdoors.
Recruit Members & Spread the Word
Start by inviting your immediate neighbors or friends within Lariat to join in. You can hang a flyer on the community board, post in the neighborhood Facebook group, or simply chat with other residents while out and about. Be sure to mention that all ages and fitness levels are welcome—it’s about connection as much as movement!
Explore the Neighborhood
Lariat is full of beautiful, walkable areas—from wide sidewalks to community green spaces and trails. Plan your routes around scenic areas or quiet streets where walkers can chat comfortably. You might even discover a new favorite path right in your backyard.
Venture Local
Once your group is up and running, plan occasional walks to nearby destinations. Take a morning stroll to a local coffee shop or organize a weekend route to Liberty Hill’s downtown for a small group outing. These little adventures can make your walks feel fresh and give neighbors a reason to keep coming back.
Set a Regular Schedule
Choose a time and day that works for the majority—maybe Tuesday and Thursday mornings, or Sunday evenings. Consistency makes it easy for people to plan ahead and build the habit. Keep it low-pressure: if someone can’t make it every week, that’s okay!
Add Fun Elements & Incentives
Keep things interesting with themed walks like “bring your pup” day or a “sunset stroll.” Celebrate milestones (like your 10th walk together) with small prizes or a group breakfast afterward. You could even start a shared photo album of your walks through the seasons.
