Highlights
Catch amazing views of Philly while improving your fitness in a light jogging tour across the historical Benjamin Franklin Bridge! Explore the history of the bridge involving the neighboring cities of Philadelphia and Camden. This tour welcomes all levels of fitness (beginner/intermediate/advanced). This is a great opportunity to boost your health journey while on vacation.
Jogging is encouraged; power walking is also an option. Because all fitness levels are welcome, 6-9 rest stops have been designated each way. At each stop, we'll learn about historical landmarks while performing a light exercise. The stops provide a great opportunity to take photos.
The tour meets by the fountain in Franklin Square Park. We begin with a brief ice breaker, followed by a warm up. Next, we power walk to the Ben Franklin Bridge walkway (2 blocks) where the jog begins. The tour concludes where it began at the fountain in Franklin Square Park. We'll finish with cooldown stretches and a farewell.
