Weekly walking club returns to Ocean City's boardwalk for the summer

This summer, Jersey Shore-goers can socialize while getting their steps in.

The Ocean City Walking Club has returned for its second year on the boardwalk. Anyone interested is invited to meet outside the Music Pier at 9 a.m. every Friday starting May 10 for a stroll down the boards. Starting June 14, the walks will depart at 8 a.m.

The Ocean City Healthy Living Advisory Council created the group last year as a way for people to "get healthy and meet new friends."

The group walks a round trip of the boards, totaling 4.9 miles and about 90 minutes, but participants are welcome to stop at any point along the route.

All are welcome to join the weekly walks, and the HLAC urges members to bring a coffee or water for the stroll. 

Potential walkers who want more information on the club can email recreation@ocnj.us.
