Q-MoB Walking Group 4th Sundays: Historic Bennington, VT

Join queer men from all over the region who enjoy walking together every week to get to know one another, get some easy exercise, and explore some of the region's most interesting landmarks. We walk rain or shine and encourage men who know the history, architecture, ecology, of the places we explore to join us to share what you know.

Many studies show that developing a regular walking practice can improve your strength, immune system, longevity, and mood, and measurably reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic pain. And if you walk regularly with other people, that habit will even more strongly improve your mood and reduce isolation, as well as help you build a better social network.

PRE-WALK QUEER MEN'S COFFEE KLATCH @ PROSPECT COFFEE: join us before the walk for our monthly (North Bennington, VT), 10am-12pm. We depart from the Coffee House for our walk & return then at the end of the walk, unless the group decides to carpool to different place for the walk. Please register separately for the Coffee Klatch so we can save enough tables for our group.
