Question 1

Where do we meet at?

Accepted Answer

We meet at Fresh Pond, right across from Sunoco gas station on 515 Concord Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138

Question 2

What pace is this walk?

Accepted Answer

We walk at a moderate to brisk pace, aiming to complete 10,000 steps (about 5 miles) in 1 to 1.5 hours. That’s roughly 3.5 to 4.5 mph—steady but comfortable for fitness. Everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace and we regroup as needed.

Question 3

Why 10k in steps?

Accepted Answer

10,000 steps is a widely recommended daily activity goal for improving heart health, boosting energy, and maintaining overall wellness. It’s a great benchmark to stay active. If you're just beginning we encourage focus on movement and consistency rather than just the number.

Question 4

Is there parking available?

Accepted Answer

Parking at Fresh Pond Reservation is restricted to Cambridge residents with resident permits, handicap permits, or Water Department permits/plates. We encourage people you to park by Whole Foods parking lot at 200 Alewife Brook Pkwy, Cambridge, MA 02138 and then walking 3-5mins to Sunoco
